Mikus, you misinterpret what I say, I have no problems with
non-standard issues and reports, but you need to understand to be able
fix the problem I need to know how I can recreate the problem or what
the specifics of the problem are it makes it hard for me to work out
where it needs to be fixed. I've already looked at the SD card issue
and recreated the problem for example. You mentioned you'd already
created a ticket for this, do you have the number of the ticket?

In the case of the /etc/fstab if it's a file system required to boot
it will bork, if it's not it should but then with all the changes
between f14 -> f17 for core boot process I'm not surprised if there's
been a change that hasn't been documented. I'll try to recreate it as
well. Tickets help me track the problems so it doesn't get lost.
