Hi, because no one had objections against it and we decided on blocker bug meeting, that serial console is blocker, I propose to add criterion: "The installer must be able to complete an installation using the serial console interface." So we would have text, VNC and graphical in alpha, serial console in beta and the rest (if any) in final. Is it right?
