+Yup. And for live iso ( as blino asked me ) ?

+Depend on the iso. Some people have talked for year of automated
+nightly, so I doubt mirrors maintainers will be happy with that :)

+
+We could make them started by a script, and have a post install task
+that trigger a remote action ( like wget in ~/Autologin/ ) to check it
+booted up to the point it can run the action.
+
+Anyway, that's up to QA team to device a smart scheme. We can also try
+to see with libvirtd to do something, yes.
