I think more importantly we need criteria for what "Official" images are
when we release. The last run for test cycle 1 is a joke. They were
obviously not checked or tested, and we potentially have vendors out there
getting ready to use them, not to mention users who take up some valuable
b/w and gold platters.
I think images need to have detached sigs in order to be considered
official. Signed by the DPL, or Release Manager, either one should do. Can
we get some sort of *QUICK* and *OFFICIAL* consensus on this?
