It's an interesting question! I'd say on the *whole* they wouldn't
qualify as blockers under the main criteria-driven process we go
through (with the blockerbugs app and voting system and meetings and
yadda yadda), because that intentionally doesn't generally concern
itself with exactly *how* things work, just *that* the things work.

However, I think there'd be a solid case for FESCo to take anything
like this as a blocker, and procedurally that makes more sense too -
Changes are under FESCo's remit. So if a case like this is caught
before release, I'd say file a FESCo ticket asking them to consider it
as a blocker.

As a sidenote, I was surprised openQA didn't choke on this bug, as I
thought some things we do with static DNS configuration would only work
with resolved...but I just went and checked, and last year we
"improved" those things to use commands that work with both resolved
and the old setup, so the same commands could be used on both F33 (old
way, still supported at the time) and F34+ (meant to be the new way).
So that's why we didn't run into this there. Ha.
