And how many people want to test these ISO sets bi-weekly to make sure no bugs have creeped in?
Won't the same bugs be installed from the same RPMs whether yum pulls them in slowly over the network or anaconda installs then from an ISO?
Bugs in the RPM packages yes, bugs in the install environment, no.
Why do you think there are 3 test ISO sets before each release? That way the installer environment gets tested.
The install environment wouldn't change. It would still have the same packages as the original installer did. This would only change if for some reason a package was split.
If the install environment won't change, then you can't use an updated kernel or X during the install, let alone an updated version of Anaconda. That means most (if not all) of the install bugs won't be fixed. What was the point of creating new ISOs again?
