We kind of already have this, really, in that we don't *explicitly* say
that all the requirements about desktop stuff don't apply to non-desktop
installs, but everyone just understands it. We could add some fairly
short boilerplate somewhere that covers the most obvious cases, easily
enough.

I think these are short enough that we could reasonably add a 'Cloud
Product requirements' section to the existing criteria, along the line
of the 'Server Product requirements' section that's already there.

We already did this. Remember that the criteria are *additive*. The Beta
'Release-blocking images must boot' criterion is only a small addition
to the Alpha one, which exhaustively lists the supported environments
and so forth. There is a definition of 'release-blocking images' in the
preamble shared between all the pages:

"The term 'release-blocking images' means all the images in which bugs
are currently considered capable of blocking a Fedora release. The
current set of release-blocking images includes the images defined by
the three primary Products - Server, Workstation and Cloud - in their
product requirement documents and/or technical specifications, and the
KDE live image."

This is kind of an interesting one I'd think we'd want the Cloud WG to
consider.

It already states:

"must work using standard console commands"

we could possibly look at re-wording it to cover Cockpit for Server and
cloud management consoles (clouds have those, right? right?) for Cloud.
