Yes .. one could say that an embargoed, 'named' sescureboot/kernel fix
that requires a signature from Microsoft before release AND requires
hiding embargoed content (which CentOS is not set up to do ..we build
everythign in the open) .. is VERY MUCH an exceptional occurrence.

Then throw in the fact the both RHEL and CentOS installs could no longer
BOOT .. I think you are it the most unbelievable and most complicated
build we have ever done in as the CentOS Project.
