New joyride build 2506 - q2e19

Mitch,

Do you know if trac 8451 is going to be fixed for the G1G1V2  image  
being delivered to quanta?
I think it is a bad idea delivering a self test that is broken. Could  
have bad PR implications.

Just my 2 cents and 20 odd years of SQA experience on a diverse range  
of products.
