Bug-by-bug detail
=============

Accepted blockers
-----------------
1.  anaconda — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2016613 — ASSIGNED
When running anaconda on Wayland with two keyboard layouts configured,
hitting any modifier key with the second layout selected switches to
the first layout

adamwill's research shows that this bug has existed since F25, but
became more viisble after KDE switched to Wayland by default. This bug
was deferred to F36 Beta under the "too hard to fix" exception.
There's ongoing discussion trying to come up with a potential fix,
however we still seem to be a long way from that point.

2. distribution — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2052654 — NEW
Fedora 36 backgrounds not present on release-blocking desktops (GNOME, KDE)

The usual desktop background blocker.

3. fedora-release — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2018271 — NEW
fedora-release-identity-cloud says "Cloud Edition", Cloud has not been
an edition for years

Waived from F35 final under the "late blocker exception." Cloud WG is
working on a proposal to re-promote Cloud to Edition status, but that
will not happen for F36 release cycle.

4. kwin — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2047503 — NEW
openQA clicks in anaconda on KDE stop working shortly after it starts

Shortly after the installer starts, mouse clicks in openQA stop
working. Using 'development mode' which allows for manual interaction
still works. This bug only affects KDE, and appears to have been
introduced in the KDE Plasma 5.24 pre-release on 2022-01-19. This bug
is accepted under the "hinders execution of required Beta test plans"
criterion.

5. libinput — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2017043 — NEW
GNOME doesn't accept input from wireless keyboard if there's not
another "keyboard" input available

On some hardware, devices with multiple capabilities that include
keyboard do not get registered as a keyboard. Thus they only work if
another keyboard is connected. It seems to mostly (or exclusively)
affect some ARM hardware.

6. linux-firmware —
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2031214 — ASSIGNED
Fedora 36: Server boot x86_64 image exceeds maximum size

Fedora-Server-netinst-x86_64-36-20220210.n.0.iso is 731906048 bytes,
which is below the maximum size of 734003200. This bug can probably be
closed until the image exceeds the limit again.

Proposed blockers
-----------------

1. distribution — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2032085 — POST
Some variants are missing /etc/resolv.conf symlink (use systemd-resolved)

Some variants are not using systemd-resolved as intended. With some
recently-merged changes to Anaconda, this appears to be working
correctly now.

2. dnf — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2033130 — NEW
exclude_from_weak_autodetect=true effectively renders rich weak
dependencies useless

Behavior introduced by the "Enable exclude_from_weak_autodetect by
default in LIBDNF" System-Wide Change appear to have undesired effects
in some use cases, particularly with language packs. It appears that a
robust fix is technically difficult, and the Change owners are
discussing reverting this Change for F36 (see BZ 2013327).
