There have been no objections to my proposed plan and I'm taking that
as a "ok, go ahead and do it".

I'll be pushing fixes to git today and I'm planning to push a new
autoqa release to our epel testing repo so that it can run for a while
before moving to production. I'll take down production autoqa tomorrow
around 20:00 UTC for updates and reconfigure/rebuild the clients and
virthosts.

As part of this, I'll be removing the fc17 repos and removing the
conflicts test from scheduling as it continues to have issues on fc18
and as far as I know, nobody is looking at the output.

If you have any objections to my plan, speak now or forever hold your
peace :)
