Honestly, just in practical terms: it's one of the main things I'd expect to use in testing a pre-release, and that was the consensus when we initially drafted that criterion. Like I said, if you want to propose changing it, please start a new thread, it'd be nice not to derail this one. This one is about the proposed test case. We need the test case whatever level the criterion is at. -- 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
