The things they are working on have been known for years, but our 6
month release cycle with no hope of being able to work on tooling
hasn't allowed them to do so. 

So, things like replacing autoqa with taskotron, investigating beaker
and other items are likely to be very helpful in both a fedora.next
and a 'traditional' fedora world. 

I'll stop talking for them, feel free to join them on the qa-devel
list and offer your help.
