I think there is a difference between confidence and realizing that
we (and by we, I mean Fedora QA) are not omniscient - we can't
possibly know everything about what's reasonable and what makes up
a set of acceptably comprehensive criteria to describe an acceptable
release.
There is wisdom in getting input from other groups - QA is a part of
Fedora as a whole, not some completely isolated group which dictates
the definition of a quality release. There is also wisdom in not setting
the bar too high - that's a great path to irrelevance and having the
criteria ignored.
Right. I do wish you wouldn't exaggerate things, Johann. The criteria
are a part of Fedora as a whole, they define what the project considers
minimum acceptable functionality for each release point. They are not
solely a QA issue, other teams clearly have input into the question.
