The Customer Access Portal is being utilized for collaboration on the
RHEL 7 Beta.

If you don't have an account, you can create one (before adding
entitlements), or create one as part of an evaluation request (which
will include entitlements). [1]  Much of the portal does not require a
login, or even entitlements.  Other portions of the Red Hat
collaboration ecosystem, such as Bugzilla, continue to be available
with a separate login.

FYI, there was a discussion on the rhel6-beta-list several weeks ago,
starting  with one post trying to subscript [1a] to the last one made
[1z] (by myself no less).  In-a-nutshell, people can collaborate where
ever they want -- even on this list.  There was even a suggestion to
create a general discussion list for all RHEL releases, all RHEL
Betas, etc...

But engineering, Specialty Based Routing (SBR), etc... is most
efficient via Bugzilla, the Customer Access Portal, etc... and other
avenues Red Hat SMEs frequent.  I.e., it's getting to the point
there's a lot with the RHEL platform ... I think up to 50 add-ons now?
 There is also the public Anaconda Development list too [4], where you
could make a maintainer aware.

It's still documented as a _valid_ option in the RHEL7 Beta
Installation Guide, Section 16.5 [3], no less.  Sounds like either a
documentation bug, or an Anaconda bug.

Off-to-Bugzilla ... my search came up empty [5].

I'd file either a documentation or RHEL7 component "Anaconda" bug.

"In a way, Bortles is the personification of the UCF football
program.  Each has many of the elements that everyone claims to
want, and yet they are nobody's first choice.  Coming out of high
school, Bortles had the size and the arm to play at a more
prestigious program.  UCF likewise has the market size and the
talent base to play in a more prestigious conference than the
American Athletic.  But timing and circumstances conspired to put
both where they are now." -- Andy Staples, CNN-Sports Illustrated
