So you just went ahead and filed a ticket *before* we could decide this

is pretty apparent that Anaconda wont meet them in time no wait they 
already tried to do that...

This is yet another warning sign that the *new* installer is not in 
ready enough shape for F18 and should be delayed to F19...
