I beg the differ we are entity within the project that is ultimatly responsable for overseeing the quality of the bits we ship and hand out to our userbase expecially when it comes to a media which gets handed out at various events or downloaded from our web site. We exist to server all not a single SIG just like relese engineering and the design group. We ( atleast me and you ) are at impass regarding this matter however I am supporting the changes you suggested since they will cover one or many desktops hence I say make them and point me to the party that you belive that is responsable for this and I can take it up with that party If.. A) Wether this is upp for the QA community to decide and if not what else is and is not. B) If this is not for us to decide than they will decide it for us which desktop(s) are allowed to block a release and that party be ultimatly responsable for the quality of the other handout media or lack there of..
