FC4 does not work, 'out of the box' for me; GUI/X11 fails

I think that's the crux of this issue.

Not every set of updates requires a rebuild of the installation media. 
Certainly for the most part I'd be against rebuilding the media more 
than, say, once a month- if at all.

However in this case, support for a large number of video chipsets- 
which worked in the past- is broken, leaving many people without a 
working GUI install and no X for months. In my opinion, this is "big 
enough" to warrant a rebuild of the release.

It's not a nuisance issue, this is an issue that can and probably has 
turned a lot of folks away from an otherwise great product.
