In particular, see https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1449752 which has prompted this. We want the blivet-gui package maintainers to either create a subpackage for its desktop file, or otherwise figure something out to prevent blivet-gui from appearing as an application in our default install. The package maintainers do not want to do this, so we want a blocker criterion to force a resolution.

Is the QA team OK with this course of action? Do you prefer to just add a new criterion? I can't seem to find the original decision (it's been a few years of meetings now), but I'm pretty sure that FESCo actually ruled that the WGs have the right to declare a blocker to their Edition by fiat. So if the Workstation WG feels that the inclusion of the blivet-gui desktop file is unacceptable for the Workstation Edition, I *think* they can just declare it so. CCing the FESCo list for anyone else there to chime in. (We also always have the option of FESCo making this declaration on your behalf as well.)
