Stable releases of core components of a major desktop should never

entries multiply like rabbits who've been dosed up on viagra".
Distribution validation testing is not *for* finding bugs like this.
I kinda agree, but reality is GNOME has no QA, and Fedora has good QA,
so Fedora is gonna find the bugs.
(IMO GNOME quality has actually improved considerably over the past
decade. But surely not enough so!)
GNOME does have OpenQA running now, but there are almost no tests.
Maintaining OpenQA tests requires effort that nobody has been
interested in. I don't want this to sound like an invitation "adamw
come prepare and maintain loads of OpenQA tests for us! do even more
work! don't you want a second unpaid job?" but if anybody happens to
think this would be an interesting way to contribute, pushing existing
tests further upstream would not be a bad idea.
