Apologies for the delay.  I like the above proposed additions, and their
recommended milestone.  

I was about to suggest combining the first criteria with the existing
Alpha criteria "The installer must be able to report failures to
Bugzilla, with appropriate information included".  I like combining them
from a KISS standpoint.  However, I think there is value in requiring
that the installer be able to submit bug reports directly into bugzilla
for the Alpha, and all subsequent milestones.  That's the first contact
most testers will have with Fedora, and to me, it's tremendously
valuable to have it as easy as possible to receive good bug reports
(including failure logs etc...).  In summary: In addition to your
proposed Alpha addition, keep the existing Alpha installer bug reporting
criteria as well.

I tweaked the Alpha criteria slightly to add a bit more detail around
expectations.  Thoughts?
