If it's non-blocking, QA may only incidentally tests them. Xfce spin
is non-blocking. And while there is a test case for it, that doesn't
mean QA makes sure that someone runs that test case. There's a pile of
media and images that Fedora is shipping these days and I'd be
surprised if QA is testing all of them.
