pungi was used to compose F7 and F8 and will be used to compose F9 as 
well, but Jesse is convinced he can't get away with composing Fedora N+1 
or Fedora N-1 on a Fedora N machine. Whether it is a support-, release 
engineering- or technical argument I do not know.

We use anaconda-runtime's buildinstall alright. As much as we look like 
we're going renegade we do value upstream (and so it seems we value 
upstream more then they do downstream). Basically where we doing what 
pungi has been doing for Fedora 7, but by the time we started needing 
callbacks to be performed to keep our GUI responsive -applies to CLI as 
well, tweak the media being composed and needed to ship Revisor for EL5, 
we did not get the patches accepted upstream (out-of-scope, zero 
confidence, whatever other reason) although sometimes the functionality 
we requested has been applied later -anyway we didn't need to depend on 
pungi anymore.

Kind regards,
