Again, a bit late but hopefully not too late and for everyone's
convenience, a brief summary of our last IRC meeting right here.
For greater Details see:

1.
As it looks at the moment the committee has accepted and is planning
with a presentation: Fedora Server Edition – Quo Vadis? Unfortunately a
workshop about Server in virtual environment, that I proposed, too,
didn’t make it.
2.
WG agrees about to use automated testing using Samba AD as the server
end (instead of a native Windows server) and to keep the status of
release criteria.
Full compatibility with Windows Server remains the goal regardless of
the testing procedure. And an inability to connect to a real Microsoft
AD server remains a release blocking criterion, since that is (and
remains) the most prominent domain controller in the world
Thank you. I wasn't available to attend due to vacation travels.
To add a bit, we have been working a lot both downstream (in Fedora) and
upstream (in Samba and MIT Kerberos) to make sure Samba AD/MIT Kerberos
build is closer to production use. Samba has extensive Kerberos test
suite that has been developed over years and which is the only test
suite that allows to cross check interoperability between Active
Directory implementations. It has a known list of failures for both MIT
and Heimdal Kerberos implementations and can also be run against
Microsoft's AD implementation for the reference point.
Use of this test suite, along with the larger Samba test suite, allows
us to be pretty sure in what state is a distribution for the
interoperability needs. It is way more extensive than any tests you are
able to run with other Windows-oriented software.
So using Samba AD for the release criteria fulfillment is not a
regression at all. Instead, it actually will raise a bar considerably.
For more details on Samba AD/MIT Kerberos build state please watch our
talk at SambaXP 2023:

The video description also has a link to slides but I'd recommend at
least listening to the video of the talk as it contains a lot more than
just what's on the slides.
3. Regarding Fedora Server on (ARM) SBC, we’ll complete the current
device documentation draft with the devices nominated until now.
4.
We want to replace the "DVD" in the naming of the installation media by
"STD".
