Thats what we used to do, but it has a bunch of process overhead.
Someone has to file a blocker bug on it, it gets voted on and approved,
then the package update has to be made, submitted, karma and request to
go stable.
A few times in the past we _have_ made kickstart changes during rc's,
then it means we have to update the package and do all the overhead
again.
I'm just not sure what utility the package has, wouldn't everyone just
get it from git and make sure they have the latest?
Yes, I'm +1 to just dropping the package.
I see it as kind of a hangover from the old idea that the release tree
itself should contain everything necessary to reproduce it, but we've
never really completely honored that, so it doesn't seem worth worrying
about.
