Yup. And for live iso ( as blino asked me ) ?

Depend on the iso. Some people have talked for year of automated
nightly, so I doubt mirrors maintainers will be happy with that :)

We could make them started by a script, and have a post install task
that trigger a remote action ( like wget in ~/Autologin/ ) to check it
booted up to the point it can run the action.

Anyway, that's up to QA team to device a smart scheme. We can also try
to see with libvirtd to do something, yes.
