Also I failed to copy the definitions used for this from the proposal which also have been helpful so I'll add that back in.
In the case of the archive (or cpio) install this would be a failure case for for both cases 4 and 5. This is because the archive (or cpio) based installs are based on a cpio of the currently booted bits such what is done for the live CD currently. Since these should always match this is a failure. I will add the definitions from the proposal to this section to help clarify what is meant. -evan
