+1 On bugfixes!  I'm a firm believer in "releases often" to get those
out and tested.

My last patch (not yet accepted) had two bug fixes, an
"enhancement" (utsname option) and a code reorg (CPE ID) all in the
lxc-fedora template.  I wouldn't have a lot of heartburn if the
enhancement and the reorg didn't make it (sorry, I didn't split them
into separate patches) but the bug fixes in the retry and release
download logic should go in.  I wouldn't object to minor enhancements
either...  That's what the minor clicks are for, no?  If we don't use
them, why have them?
