The new ISOs are awaiting the mirrors.

I proposed exactly that in the runup to RC2, but have discovered it 
doesn't work.  whitebox-release and up2date have to be revved to point to 
the proper packages and if you change anything you have to rebuild comps 
and rpmdb-whitebox.  And there goes a simple rename.

Actually, there was only one of those, the problem with gettext.  But RC2 
and now final and fixed have just kept the RC1 version.  That will work 
until Red Hat releases an errata package, then a solution will be vital.

Been online since modems with a manual connect button were still in 
service.  Asbestos underroos are standard equipment.  :)
