What would be useful is if people gave reports that listed exactly what laptop and distributions they are using. Just "a high spec x86 laptop" isn't terribly useful, because*my* brand-new Dell XPS 13 running Debian testing is working just fine. The year, model, make, and CPU type plus what distribution (and distro version number) you are running is useful, so I can assess how wide spread the unhappiness is going to be, and what mitigation steps make sense.
I'm pretty sure Fedora is hitting this in our VMs. I just spent some time debugging an issue of a boot delay with someone from the infrastructure team where it would take upwards of 2 minutes to boot. If someone holds down a key, it boots in 4 seconds. There's a qemu reproducer at https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1572916#c3 I suggested a cat on the keyboard as a workaround. Independently, we also got a report of a boot hang in GCE with 4.16.4 where as 4.16.3 works which corresponds to the previous report of a stable regression. This was just via IRC so I didn't have time to dig into this. Thanks, Laura
