This should definitely be filed as a bug report for system-config-network. Two
reminders were sent to -devel-list requesting repackaging, not only before
final, but also test releases [1,2].

The best thing would be to be able to find about these repackaging issues before
a release. So, anyone knows of a way to check whether the to-be-included RPMs
are were packaged after a certain date (probably using koji)? (CCing Jesse Keating)

The other issue we'd need to manage is strings getting added after the string
freeze date. That's much easier though and can be solved by monitoring the CVS
updates of the POT files with a script and raising a warning, or at least
notifying this list.
