As everyone knows, the KDE Plasma desktop is a release-blocking
artifact for Fedora releases. KDE is important to us, and we don't want
to go out the door with it broken.
But, there's a problem that's coming up more and more. One of the
release criteria is that all of the default applications need to have
their basic functionality tested.* This is particularly a problem with
KDE, because the SIG has decided to ship so many applications
(apparently three web browswers, now).
I'd like to propose that we either:
1) significantly reduce the number of default apps to a more managable
number, or
2) remove this particular blocking test from KDE in particular.
In either case, it would really be helpful to have more release-time
validation of shipped applications from the KDE sig.
