I think it would be best to turn MSI off in FC6, where it's already been off
for a long time anyway.
Might be useful to do that as a comparison too. If a bug goes away on
FC6, and sticks around on later releases, whilst we're on the same
codebase, we should be able to spot MSI failures a little easier.
