I'm against this as a blocker for a number of reasons: * When we've tried to do hardware specific blocking at the time like dual boot with MacOS this has not worked well and the dual boot is testable with one piece of hardware * It's easy to do a zero day update or a standard update to fix it post release as doesn't affect the install path * We don't do it for other non critical hardware selections such as digital cameras, video cameras, and other such things * Hardware availability, I don't see blocking for one type of printer over another type is a good use of our time. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list -- devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to devel-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
