Another bug that would have been caught if packages went through a boot/acceptance test

If you've been following updates to F14 alpha/beta, you'll undoubtedly
have been hit by:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=638091
which makes everything segfault and is unrecoverable without a live CD
and a lot of manual intervention.
A simple "does it boot" test in fact wouldn't have caught this, but a
"does it boot, then run prelink" (completely automatic as part of the
Koji build or AutoQA acceptance) would have.
