 = problem =
 Now that install.img is included in initrd.img, it can no longer be loaded
 from somewhere else other than media, therefore Using 'askmethod' is
 actually the same as 'repo=' which is to direct anaconda using a specific
 package repo.

 = analysis =
 So I propose to obsolete the install source test cases of install sources
 from http, nfs, ftp, hd, and only test the package repositories of these
 methods.

 = enhancement recommendation =

 The following tests will be kept:
  - [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceBootIso
 InstallSourceBootIso]
  - [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceDvd
 InstallSourceDvd]
  - [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:TestCases/Install_Source_Live_Image
 Install_Source_Live_Image]

 The following will be obsoleted:
  - [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceHttp
 InstallSourceHttp]
  - [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceNfs
 InstallSourceNfs]
  - [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceNfsIso
 InstallSourceNfsIso]
  - [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceFtpAnonymous
 InstallSourceFtpAnonymous]
  -
 [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceFtpNonAnonymous
 InstallSourceFtpNonAnonymous]
  - [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestCases/InstallSourceHardDrive
 InstallSourceHardDrive]

 Current package repository tests are listed at:
 [https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Repository Category:Repository]

 Hard disk and nfs iso repo tests need be added, then they'll cover all
 package install methods.

 clumens, how do you think of these? do the remaining tests(install
 source+repo) cover the common use cases?
