Subject: problems with QA:Testcase_base_startup
In the base installation matrix
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_21_Alpha_RC1_Base#Test...
we have this test case:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_base_startup
It it is marked as "Alpha" in the matrix. However, it depends on disk
encryption, which is a Beta requirement. That is a problem, if disk encryption doesn't
work, you can't test the rest of the test case. That means you can test Alpha criteria
because you are stuck on a broken Beta feature.
Furthermore, the test case basically duplicates
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_partitioning_guided_encrypted , from my POV.
So I suggest to amend Testcase_base_startup and change this sentence:
"Follow all defaults, with the exception that you should encrypt a system partition
(e.g. the root partition)."
to this:
"Follow all defaults, with the exception that you may encrypt a system partition
(e.g. the root partition)."
And of course the expected results would be a slightly differently formulated as well.
This will fix the discrepancy (Alpha test case depending on Beta features), and remove
the duplication.
Thoughts?

Just axe the encryption bit all together? That would be cleaner, I think.
