In case of Astronomy all nightlies built fine, the RC one has been canceled for some reason for x86_64, even the i686 one went fine. The other spins seem to be failing for at least some days also in nightly. So IMHO two different cases (of couse with same result), in case of Astronomy the compose itself has an issue, for the other spins there are dependency issues as it seems. Having that criterion " if there's an RC specific failure to output images that didn't cause nightlies to fail, then we have to find out what's going on." would be really nice.
