Another "acessibility" issue is internationalization; the current process 
isn't bad at all, but could be improved. 
I was unfortunately very busy during this beta period (only managed to follow 
the mailling lists and update portuguese translations), so I can't really 
complain, but I kept i18n stats at 100% at almost all tims, and certainly at 
the freeze point I'm sure that only the anaconda docs has a couple of 
untranlated, and still there are powerdown messages in english (in the middle 
of portuguese messages, so it's not a "too late for i18n issue") and, even 
worse, up2date/rhn_register is half translated/half in english.

Clearly there's room for improvement.
