Unity respin effort. I disagree that the solution is to slow down the

respin is easy to do. I and others have already demonstrated this is
closer than you may realize. And, given the previous statements about
patches, the support / certification / QA arguments about respins go out
the window. Just leave the "gold" media as the only officially
certified, make it easy to do updated respins, and make sure people who
use them understand they do so on their own.
It is already pretty easy to redo on your own. You can run livecd-creator
using whichever combo of repositories you like with a kickstart file
(and a number of samples of these exist) to build a live cd or dvd.
You can install off the live dvd.
The last fresh install I did that because I needed a custom anaconda that
would use a raid 1 array with only one member and I have found livecd-creator
simpler to use than revisor. (Though I haven't tried revisor for a couple
of releases and I need to play with livecd-creator for other reasons.)
