Long drawn out discussion on fedora-test-list, the thread starts here:

https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-test-list/2006-September/msg00619.html

The bz tracking this is here:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=207746

Not much in the bz, all the discussion is in the mail thread as of now. 
If I have time in the AM I'll summarize.
