Fedora Weighs Dropping Release Criteria For DVD Optical Media
The Fedora project is seeking feedback from its user and developer community over potentially updating its release criteria to no longer block on optimal media boot issues (DVD images) as well as whether to continue honoring dual boot issues for Intel-based Macs as release-blocking.
The Fedora project is seeking feedback from its user and developer community over potentially updating its release criteria to no longer block on optimal media boot issues (DVD images) as well as whether to continue honoring dual boot issues for Intel-based Macs as release-blocking. The importance of optical boot is long gone, and we believe it’s time to remove it from the “critical feature list” called release criteria. It will not save us much time (I don’t remember any high-profile optical boot issue over the last few years), but it will simplify our test matrices a bit (making them easier to read), it will resolve the dichotomy between release-blocking status and Quality coverage, and it will allow us to get rid of the DVD drive and media we still have ready (but probably no longer work anyway) if a problem was found."
