So here's some results.
f2e707287dd82cccb05a3fef6b75cb356744ca58 (Jun 14), no update: 1019215872
f2e707287dd82cccb05a3fef6b75cb356744ca58 (Jun 14), update: 1017118720
1a0c28fdf638796bda60ed2785f95eac16a85b65 (Jun 22), update: 1005584384
that is, with the old spin-kickstarts and without the above update,
we're 19215872 bytes oversize; with the update but old spin-kickstarts,
we're 17118720 bytes oversize (the update saves ~2.1MB); and with the
update and latest spin-kickstarts, we're 5584384 bytes oversize (the
kickstart changes save ~11.5MB). We still need to find another 5.6MB
from somewhere.
Thanks folks!

Fedora 19 Final TC5 desktop testing
by Adam Williamson
Hi, folks!
There's been substantial churn in F19 lately, but from some smoke
testing, Final TC5 looks like a basically working build that includes
most of the major change we need for final. At this point, 10 days
before go/no-go, we really need to do all the desktop validation testing
and pin down any showstopper issues that remain.
If folks could grab the TC5 Live images from here:
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/19-TC5/Live/ (KDE, GNOME)
https://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/stage/19-TC5/Spins/ (others)
and help us to fill out the tests at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_19_Final_TC5_Desktop , it'd be a really big help. Just run any of the tests you can for your desktop, file bugs on any failures you hit, and mark your results in the tables according to the key. It'd be especially good to have help with the deceptively large test case https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_desktop_menus , which is basically 'run every app installed by default and make sure it works'. If you do hit problems with any of the tests, first check at https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/milestone/19/final/buglist to see if they've been reported as blocker or freeze exception bugs already.
If you hit a serious new failure of a test on KDE or GNOME, mark the bug
as blocking the bug 'FinalBlocker' (ideally with reference to a
criterion at
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_19_Final_Release_Criteria , but if
you're not good at criteria ju-jitsu that's OK), or use the blocker
proposal web app - https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/propose_bug
- to propose it as a blocker. If you hit serious failure of a test on
any of the other desktops, mark the bug as blocking the bug
'FinalFreezeException', or use the webapp to propose it as a freeze
exception issue.
I have tested that at least each image can boot to a desktop and run the
installer; none of them is entirely DOA. Note, testing in
virtualization, you *may* run into
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=974198 ; if so, passing
'nomodeset' should work around it for now.
If you get lost or confused by the process at any point, but you think
you've found an important issue, don't hesitate to holler at me or
anyone else in QA or release engineering, on list, by direct mail or on
IRC. Thanks!

Closed some more out, but confirmed quite a lot more are still valid 3
months later (some are NEEDINFO, unfortunately my dumb 'bug list'
command doesn't identify needinfo'ed bugs).
Desktop team...I know you have this thing about not reading RH
bugs...but it really does mean you miss out on what looks like some
valuable information. Can't it be re-considered? Couldn't you at least
task someone to take a sweep through the Test Day bugs?

ARM spin explosion in spin-kickstarts
by Bill Nottingham
Note that there appears to be a large explosion in spin-kickstarts as
some maintainers (and Dennis) rearrange things in order to make ARM
spins.
It may be worth having someone from the desktop spin look over that
and make changes as necessary.
