This should at the very least be done for the beta; I've put your bug on
the beta blocker list

This would not be my preference since if the testing is positive, pirut
is probably not going to be shipped in Fedora 9.  Spending resources on
two different implementations of the same thing just means that neither
is as good as it could be.
