It is not unreasonable at all. The liveinst package should have been on 
the officially repositories. The review and the process was bypassed to 
get test 2 on time which is fine but let's not use that as a excuse not 
to add a simple obsolete to Anaconda to ensure that users can update 
properly. We should strive to provide sane updates paths from every 
release to every release regardless of whether it is a test or not. It 
might not be possible in some corner cases which this is not. Our end 
users and testers deserve more respect for their time.
