...this isn't accurate, we test nightlies constantly, throughout the
cycle:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Category:Fedora_27_Nightly_Test_Results
so in fact we *have* already run most of the desktop validation tests
on the most recent nightly 'nominated' for testing.

On the other hand, the criteria for Beta aren't super onerous and
openQA covers some of them, so even still, it's not a huge amount of
work, no. And we have a pretty good track record with upgrades from the
GNOME RCs to final not breaking things, so I'm not too worried.

That sounds reasonable. I see the mega-update is in Bodhi now, thanks.
I'll make sure it gets some testing.
