  Can't basic bootup of kernels on i386 uniproc machine be tested before
pushed to rawhide, channels, mirrors and users ? 

  Similary if some change broke anaconda, can we backtrack that change
in the sake of keeping an installable dist, my servers are pulling everyday
new version of boot images and anaconda stuff which are know to not work,
and users are trying to use them while again we know they don't work.

  There is a balance between doing a lot of testing before pushing and 
pushing stuff which can be easilly detected as not working at all in the
most common case.
