Why all-or-nothing approach? My original proposal talks about 'all' being quite time consuming and probably losing the "worth the time" ratio quickly. But isn't "something" better than "nothing"? That's exactly what we're talking about here - having a set of "guaranteed to be working" media, ideally those generic enough to be widely usable (KDE can be installed from netinst, even if KDE Live doesn't boot from a spinning disc), or those mostly used in this scenario (that would be Workstation Live).

Which images we test and how often is an internal QA process that we can decide ourselves according to our resources. But I'm trying to figure out here on which images we *block*. "At least one Live image" is probably something people wouldn't like if KDE turned out to be working and Workstation not (in terms of optical boot). And I don't want to belittle KDE here, but Workstation is the main face of Fedora (at least by looking at getfedora.org, and reading the reviews).
