Not really. If we held up the release for every machine that didn't
suspend/resume, we'd never ship anything.
The only real blocker items wrt to the kernel are
"doesn't install"
"doesn't boot"
"can't download updates"
Got that one right... see the thread about yum seeing no updates ;-)
"corrupts data"
Could we add "X starts, but only shows a blank screen; no keyboard or mouse
response"? (Happened to me yesterday after the updates from the day before,
haven't had time to corroborate)
