We currently have the following Beta criterion:
"The release-blocking images must meet current size requirements." [1]
The latest "Workstation image is oversized" bug [2] showed that we don't consider this requirement to be that critical. People mostly agreed that having a slightly oversized image at Beta is no big deal. And there's much truth to it. The limits were critical when we used optical media, but with flash drives, there is always an option to use a larger one.
Considering this, I believe it makes sense to move the current criterion from Beta to Final.
There are other options to handle this, like giving the image size e.g. 10% headroom during Beta. We can do this, but the more I think about it, the less value I see in it. If the image was 11% over size, would it really matter? I think we actually don't care image image size restrictions before Final release at all. For Final release, sure, some groups want to fit X GB flash drives, and some groups want to fit onto a DVD disc. But for Beta we can always test it just fine, regardless the size (and no images are release blocking for optical media for Beta).
Thoughts?
