After readint this thread I am almost sorry I posted my rant.  I fully
understand that Tests are not releases (heck I didn't even use that
word in the above post.)

However, I must insist that the desired goal of any "burned" ISO -
downloadedable from Red Hat's site - should, hopefully, be "working";
in-so-far as to say the code on the CD should work with the other code
on the CD.

Other than that I have never had any serious issues with Red Hat's
ISO's (not since before Red Hat v5 any ways.)  I mean it's not like
Red Hat has become the Microsoft of the Open Source world, right?  ;-)
 Just joking, really.

Sometimes, rarely, I miss the Red Hat Ultrasparc versions -- but those
were the good ol' days, huh?  I even dug out my old copy of SuSE 7 for
the PPC and Ultrasparc cd/book set and wondered if Red Hat was
planning on such a Book & CD release again?  Maybe one day, when
things settle down.
