    1. TypeError: %d format: a number is required, not str (jlaska, 17:05:46)

    1. pre-release anaconda compose is disabling 'rawhide' repo ... leaves no repos available for install (jlaska, 18:11:19)
    2. likely related to generic-release vs fedora-release troubles (jlaska, 18:19:27)
    3. AGREED: 723901 - revisit next meeting - impacts rawhide installs now, but unclear whether this will affect Branched (f16) media installs too (jlaska, 18:21:12)
