Comment (by adamwill):

 Okay, this is my take on the cases we need to consider:

 QA:Testcase_Boot_Methods_Boot_Iso
 QA:Testcase_Boot_Methods_Dvd
 QA:Testcase_Live_Image_Boot
 QA:Testcase_install_repository_Mirrorlist_default
 QA:Testcase_install_repository_DVD_default
 QA:Testcase_install_repository_Live_Image

 These are obviously critical: we really kinda need all possible
 combinations there. We need to test whether the boot.iso, DVD ISO and live
 ISOs boot when written to CD/DVD *or* USB, and in each case, we need to
 test both BIOS and EFI. In each case, we need to be sure the image boots
 and a straight-through installation works.

 QA:Testcase_Anaconda_autopart_install

 For EFI installs we need to make sure anaconda handles the EFI system
 partition differently (this differs from a non-EFI install). For USB
 installs we need to make sure the USB stick you're installing from is
 correctly filtered out: it's not used as an install target or a potential
 bootloader location. So this test is significant to both.

 QA:Testcase_Anaconda_Upgrade_New_Bootloader
 QA:Testcase_Anaconda_Upgrade_Skip_Bootloader
 QA:Testcase_Anaconda_Upgrade_Update_Bootloader

 Similar to above - upgrades can behave differently with USB and EFI
 installs, particularly in the area of bootloader management. So we need to
 test these.

 The simplest thing we can do is just add EFI and USB columns to the table,
 with boxes in those columns only for the tests in question, I guess. Other
 organization scheme suggestions welcome!
