I agree with this. I verified that 'check' works for both DVD and netinst images
(which I thought didn't have a mediacheck anymore). I think checking
automatically should be made the default for DVD, netinst, and live. The
automatic check could eliminate a lot of destructive install/upgrade failures
caused by either bad burns (to whatever media) or bad downloads. And if there
are no plans to do away with the built-in mediacheck, we could change the Final
criteria right now to require that it be available and working on all of these
images.

I also added a comment to https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=806500 and
changed the title of the bug to reflect that the mediacheck is still there but
just hidden.
