The difficulties I'm thinking about are those outlined in:

I'm curious if the anaconda changes that proved to be difficult for
CentOS when moving from 6.0 to 6.1 will be as significant in the
development effort moving from 6.1 to 6.2.  I get the sense that package
rebuilding wasn't too difficult (and that's why we had the CR
repository) but that the ISO creation was harder.
