Live CD/DVDs would be invaluable in getting more testing of A) the liveCD 
creation tools, and B) the packages themselves.  However it does not help to 
test anaconda and installation / upgrades.  Its the installation/upgrades 
that had the most 'whoops' bugs in them and are the cause of most slips.  We 
need more testing there, not less.
