Are you going to provide the spare box to sit inside the RedHat fence
line to watch for new kernel builds in redhat's buildsystem,test boot
itself, and then report back in a scripted/automated fashion so that
the kernel build can be removed?
Until the binary build comes out in rawhide its not available for
public consumption any other way from redhat's build system. So if you
come up with a solution for this, it will have to be implemented
completely within the redhat fenceline.

Similarly are you going to provide the redhat internal hardware to do
the scripted anaconda regression tests?
