I expect I'll propose more test cases for deletion for the same reason, so I was a bit ahead of time. This one doesn't really require much time to test, right. I was considering whether the optional category is useful at all. But afterwards I decided to do one step at a time. So I've marked this test case as optional now, and once we accumulate enough optional tests/I finish the test cases review, we can then discuss what to do with them. -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
