Personally speaking I don't really *like* this fudge, but yes, we *can*
do it. We actually have one fudge of precisely this kind in the
criteria right now, so there is a clear precedent. It's to do with
Cockpit browser support:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_32_Final_Release_Criteria#Cockpit_management_interface

"Manual testing will occur on the Firefox/Fedora platform. It will not
be performed on the Chrome/Fedora platform nor any of the Windows / OSX
platforms mentioned above, but if issues in code related to Fedora /
Cockpit (and not third-party software such as the third-party browsers)
in meeting the functional criteria are reported against those
platforms, they may block the release."
