FESCo, and I believe spins sig also believes it should have a say.
QA does indeed provide services to the entire distro, but our responsibility is to provide the best QA we can for the things the project considers a) vital and then b) important, not to_define_ what the project considers vital and important. We can provide advice - for instance, if FESCo were to propose that every desktop ever could block the release, we might advise that it was likely to be very difficult to provide reasonable testing coverage for that - but we don't ultimately have the right to take the decision. If FESCo ultimately chose to go ahead anyway it would be our responsibility to do the best job we could with QAing every desktop in Fedora, but when we inevitably failed, we could point out that we'd told 'em so. =)
The project has long outgrown officially supporting and shipping a single desktop ( which is good ) however various processes like the design team and release engineering and us ( QA even thou I believe of those we are the once that are best prepared for it ) are falling behind the growth of the project which is bad.
Could you drop this please. It is neither helpful or useful to the project.
