There's a sort of technical argument to be made that this is covered by https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_33_Beta_Release_Criteria#desktop-shutdown-reboot-logout . That says "Shutting down, logging out and rebooting must work using standard console commands and the mechanisms offered (if any) by all release-blocking desktops", with a footnote "Logging out must return the user to the environment from which they logged in, working as expected." Arguably the environment from which they logged in is not "working as expected" if you can't then log in as someone else. Adding a more explicit requirement wouldn't hurt, though, I guess. I sort of feel like it would be nice to somehow combine and rationalize all these related requirements somehow... -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | XMPP: adamw AT happyassassin . net http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to test-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
