 Please include the following builds that address blockers and have not yet
 made a stable compose:

  *
 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-4492/lorax-17.12-1.fc17
 (strictly does not address any blockers, but is required for the anaconda
 build according to anaconda team)
  *
 https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2012-3654/initscripts-9.37-1.fc17

 Please also consider the following updates that address NTH issues:

 Please ensure dracut and lorax are updated in the build environment.

 Several builds that were pushed stable in the 2012-03-21 compose are
 blocker fixes, so if those are too new to make it into an RC compose,
 please do not do the compose but contact me and I'll extend the list of
 required builds.

 Thanks!
