Hard to disagree with this in theory.  That's like being opposed to
world peace. :)

Contributions to AutoQA [1] are welcome and encouraged.  Liam has
automated the mediakit sanity tests, and is currently structuring test
drivers to automate DVD and CD installs.  If you're interested in
contributing, take a look at the installer test automation roadmap
[2].  

Chris Lumens (of anaconda-devel fame) has contributed his installer
storage automation test suite to autoqa as well [3].  We're looking for
someone who is interested getting familiar with the suite and running it
against snapshots.

Thanks,
James
