FIrst thing when I fired up my test harness was that F28 has
changed,
and thus broken, kickstart for the user option compared to a standard
minimal that worked going back to F22 and EL7 so that had to be
debugged and fixed ... done
Next things is the ansible that I use to test ... well the lovely
folks jumping the gun on dropping python2-* packages is making life
painful since ansible still uses python2 by default and not everything
support python3 yet. There is no python2-firewall anymore for the
ansible firewalld module ... yay another silly thing to work around!

BTW, it would be very nice if there was (maintained) docu-
mentation on how to generate Fedora VMs and for example use
Ansible to configure complex interactive test setups.
James's article
(
https://fedoramagazine.org/day-life-fedora-packager/) is
mouth-watering, but lacking detail and probably outdated by
now.
I'm sure that many Fedora packagers have their own ("obvi-
ous") solutions, but having something general could lower
the bar for new packagers who do not want to dive deep into
all the minutiae just to test a release.
