I'm working on it.  I've got all the infrastructure in place to do that. 
Just need one more thing -- the ability to test when the engine is

I voted for https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1325468 which is a
bug that you added as a reference to 1166657.  I've commented in both.

consider a "startup from scratch" use case.
