I'm not sure there's actually any reason that this needs to be fixed before
the final images are produced?  As long as the archive itself isn't frozen
and the metadata is updated there, we should be ok I think.

Not that we don't want flavors to get their answers in ASAP, but I'd rather
the release team didn't worry about respinning for something that shouldn't
matter to the CD images.
