Rebooting works as well to opt out, once the check starts. With the old
interactive mediacheck, that was apparently the ONLY way - see
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=874486#c10 . It should be easier now
to opt out than it was before - with two one-keystroke options, one before the
check starts and one after - but of course that depends on 874486 getting fixed.
And mediacheck was the default before, with slower hardware and all.
