The only difference that comes to my mind is that hardware tends to be pretty stable (except for firmware updates), but virtualization software might change pretty quickly. If we take it into account, we could really consider virt platforms same as hw platforms - it would be a conditional blocker, and we would decide by using our best judgment according to issue severity, our estimate of the number of users affected and our ability to fix that. > > We could create a new paragraph in Blocker Bug FAQ [1] that would describe virt issues.

This seems an interesting way to go, so long as we can keep the strong support for KVM we currently have. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
