Maybe the oversize tolerance for beta is 50%? I think it may at this point be more about significantly impacting download speed than media availability. At least in the U.S., bandwidth is highly variable [1] with a large number of people having less than 10Mbps download rates. I'm sure there's an oversize percent between 10% and 200% where most of us would generally agree, umm yeah we should block beta and make the image smaller. I'd say if the check can be automated, tag it for 50% oversize. If it can't be automated, then...why can't it be automated? :D [1] https://www.telecompetitor.com/latest-national-broadband-data-from-fcc-finds-median-u-s-internet-speed-of-60-mbps/ -- Chris Murphy _______________________________________________ test mailing list -- test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe send an email to test-le...@lists.fedoraproject.org Fedora Code of Conduct: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/code-of-conduct/ List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/test@lists.fedoraproject.org
