I don't think we'd really be correct in blocking the release for such issues - especially not Beta. We used to have 'polish' criteria for Final which at least required the icons used in the system menus - i.e. what's specified in the app's .desktop file - to be sane for all installed applications, but we dropped that (and other polish criteria) with the F19/F20 criteria re-write on the basis that they were really stretching a bit too far and would be unlikely to hold up to a 'last blocker before release' acid test. Stuff like this doesn't break anyone's use of the system catastrophically and can reasonably be fixed with updates. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel Fedora Code of Conduct: http://fedoraproject.org/code-of-conduct
