Technically speaking, features should mostly be done prior to the feature freeze (test2).

If we don't install it by default, then it would be reasonable to put in. So given that livecd-tools isn't installed by default anywhere, in that respect, we could just put it in. But Rahul I think wants it installed by default. That said, in any case, I'm willing to put it on a branch for now Jeremy -- Fedora-livecd-list mailing list [email protected] https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-livecd-list
