I'm not sure if you guys are aware of this but a lot of reporters

installs are preventing the ability for reporters to either a) enable
fedora-rawhide-kernel-nodebug.repo or b) manually install specific
kernel release from koji and test more recent kernels on already
existing GA releases.
We are very supportive of this, and frequently point people towards
rawhide-nodebug. If people don't want to run full rawhide, we would love
for them to at least run kernel snapshots.
If we now have hard dependency's on specific dracut/systemd
versions we
need to start looking into sync-ing kernel/dracut/systemd releases
better in GA ( arguably the entire base/core stack but that's a topic
for a later time) or back port the necessary bits that the kernel
install requires into the kernel/systemd/dracut releases in GA.
This is a rare instance, and it hit several people. If I had the option
of putting the required changes into F17/F18 I would have, but Harald
did put them in 19 at least. This is a situation we really prefer to
avoid, but sometimes there is no other way.
