Problems with live install support for F18 Alpha

Hey, folks - just wanted to make sure anyone who's interested is in the 
loop. The anaconda team has been working to try and get live 
installation working with the newUI changes, but right now they don't 
think it'll be possible to have it ready in time for F18 Alpha, at least 
without slipping again. They don't think it can be done by next 
Wednesday.

So, if we wanted to release the Alpha on current schedule (just 1 week 
slip), it'd have to be with no live images, or with non-installable live 
images. If we want installable live images for Alpha, we'd have to slip 
at least another week.

That feels like a 'policy' decision to me, so I've filed a ticket with 
FESCo to discuss it at their next meeting:

https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/941

so if anyone feels strongly about this issue, please, chip in in the 
ticket or at the meeting. If people feel it'd be desirable, we could 
also put this on the agenda for the QA meeting on Monday and perhaps 
come to an official position on what we would like to see happen, since 
our meeting is ahead of FESCo's. Thanks everyone!
