My view is that having it Final is easier and having it Beta is more beneficial. Serial console is used a lot for various VM setups and automated testing. If we have it in Final, we might not get as much bug reports received from general public, because in Beta it will be broken. The QA team uses TCs and RCs, but still, this issue might get fixed just soon before Final if the requirement is Final. That makes all tests based on serial console useless, because they will pass only at the end of development cycle. Here's an example of such a test: http://autoqa-stg.fedoraproject.org/resultsdb/frontend/search?type=Testcase&terms=rats_install So it hurts both us and the bug reports from public. I don't know how hard is to maintain serial console for Anaconda team. Maybe it's a nightmare. But if it is doable, I would prefer having it in Beta. -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
