There really are two discussions going on here, one is about
installer
updates and one is about packing updated RPMs. They may have differing
solutions, for example, it would be possible to provide the complete
installer as an image for a USB memory stick, this would allow someone
who hit an installer bug to get a fixed installer. Many systems can
boot off of USB memory sticks... at least that would help some people.
There have already been examples of installer images..without the
package payload..being created in response to specific bugreports
about specific broken hardware created by developers as part of
bugzilla activity for fedora releases. for example:
http://www.fedorafaq.org/fc2/#installreboot
Now that there is a process for producing release note errata these
specific boot image fixes like the c3boot-2.iso could be publicized
more.
