1) in the end, we focused heavily on just three component areas for
testing: anaconda, kernel, and X.org. This is primarily a function of
the fact that these are the most vital bits; it feels like we're still
at the point of doing 'let's make sure it's not totally broken'
testing
than 'let's make sure it's really good' testing. We didn't do stuff
like
making sure the desktop was polished.
Define the "we" here as the desktop team did put a lot of time into
polish of the desktop.
