The part about not making install images all the time is listed as a
"discussion point", part of the official proposal:
'Do we always make install images for rawhide, or only make images for
pending release tree?'
Big picture it seems like we've suddenly taken away access to a huge
amount of potential nightly and periodic installer testing. Is this
addressed somewhere in the proposal that I missed?
Are there particular reason for not creating the images any more that
might help everyone understand more why this is a good idea?
Can you add something to the proposal explaining when, how often, and
where install images will be created?
Thanks,
John
