Hm, interesting question.

In the past, when I've done 'Fedora X + stuff' releases, such as the
spins I've done for newly-supported hardware like Pegasos and PS3, I've
shipped the install tree with an SRPMS/ directory containing the two or
three packages which I had to update. Would that be a reasonable answer?

Of course, my preferred answer is just not to slip :)
