Possibly. At this point you probably need to discuss with release
engineering as they have probably already done the builds for the release.
They would possibly be willing to do a respin of Robotics since it's
not one of the major spins.

In general this is way late to be finding this kind of issue. If the spin
required these features it should have been discovered back at alpha. If
there was a change in requirements, that change should probably have been
deferred until F17.

I want to do another spin kickstarts based on what we actually use for the
release as a zero day update. Please don't commit the change to the F16
branch for now unless rel-eng is going to do a respin with the change.
Once I get a version with the actually ks files used for the release in updates
we can do another spin-kickstarts with errata for people doing their own
spins post release.
