This particular thread is about release criteria, not validation tests,
note. It's not comprehensive - note the bit of the post that read
"*excluding* Role functionality - I expect we'll need a whole subset of
criteria for Role functionality, so I figured I can write that up as a
separate batch to keep each chunk a manageable size."

I since drafted up the role criteria and sent an email to server@; see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Adamwill/Draft_server_release_criteria and https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/server/2014-June/001245.html .

Per-role functional requirements are certainly something we could add,
and probably a good idea, but they'd have to be done as part of actually
creating the roles. We don't have a DNS server role yet, and it's not in
the set of two roles planned for Fedora 21:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Server/Technical_Specification#Supported_Roles . Those are domain controller and database server.
