For example if it turns out this bug is in fact VirtualBox specific, what happens? Historically, it's not a blocker expressly because it's happening in vbox. And that would mean F21 would be allowed to ship, despite failing to install as a virtualbox guest. If it's only fixable by virtualbox upstream, it's reasonable to not block because we can't control any of that. If it can be fixed in Fedora, but we need more time or whatever to get it fixed, then I think we should block. But we're not allowed to block on anything vbox specific no matter what the problem or solution is. https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1103496 Chris Murphy -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
