It feels like time for a status summary mail again!
Fedora 19 Final TC5 is the current compose: it contains most of the
final churn for F19, change should be fairly restricted from here on
out. So this is a good time to take stock of where we are and get all
testing done.
tl;dr summary

Desktop team: please look at reducing size of desktop live (958426)

Here's the status of the accepted blockers:
964586 - "Anaconda does not isntall ntfs tools to allow OS-Prober to
find windows partition and therefore creates no grub.cfg entry" - this
ought to be fixed in Final TC5 and just needs to be tested. The test is
to do a (BIOS) minimal install of Fedora 19 alongside a (BIOS) install
of Windows and check that a grub entry for the Windows install is
created.
971191 - "DVD install option unavailable in TUI" - a fix for this
narrowly missed TC5, and will be in the next build. We could test it
with an updates.img in the mean time.
971763 - "disable updates-testing" - this is mostly a 'reminder' bug to
put a 'final' version of fedora-release into RC1. No action needed yet.
968951 - "g-i-s created user's accounts and settings are copied to new
users created after g-i-s completes but before a reboot" - the fix for
this is in Final TC5, I have verified it appears to work. Further
verification would be welcome, and the update that fixes it -
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gnome-initial-setup-0.12-1.fc19
- needs karma.
969852 - "Software Update fails to update" - two people have verified
the fix for this. The update that fixes it -
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/gnome-packagekit-3.8.2-2.fc19 -
needs karma.
958426 - "19 Final TC1 x86_64 Desktop Live is oversized (larger than 1
GB)" - we need the desktop team to look at fixing this. At this point,
as noted above, repo and spin-kickstarts churn should be mostly done, so
now's the time to take a look at what's in the TC5 image and start
cutting.
974784 - "live image composing in koji broken" - the fix for this,
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/livecd-tools-19.5-1.fc19 , is
clearly good, or else we wouldn't have TC5 lives. The update has
sufficient karma to go stable, so no action needed here.
974032 - "bug reporting doesn't work from LiveCD" - the update that
fixes this just barely missed TC5. It may be possible to test it by
booting the TC5 live and doing 'yum update python-meh' before
installing, otherwise it may have to wait for TC6. The update that
should fix it,
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/python-meh-0.25-1.fc19 , needs
karma.
964006 - "cloud-init hostname service failing on initial boot" - we have
initial indication that the planned fix for this works, but we need a
new selinux-policy to be built and new cloud images built with that
selinux-policy to confirm.
974198 - "missing letters on various anaconda screens with spice
graphics" - the fix for this has been reported to work by one tester,
but it'd be good if other testers could confirm it. The update that
fixes it -
https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/xorg-x11-drv-qxl-0.1.1-0.9.20130514git77a1594.fc19
- needs karma.
924162 - "A software selection with dependency errors is allowed to
proceed if the dependency check runs twice" - we are waiting on a fix
for this one. Looks like progress is being made
