I'm sitting here thinking about F34 Beta being just two days away and what I have observed in my testing. I must admit being more than a little concerned.
I have watched the blocker bugs and my concern stems from the fact that I don't see some troubling ones listed there. Also there doesn't seem to have been any discussion about these. Even if these don't technically qualify as blockers, if they are not fixed. they will certainly send a message to those those installing F34 Beta.

I know the white screen with the sad face at least appears to be cosmetic, but do we really want that.

This is apparently one of the alerts that if a user has installed setroubleshoot, they get alerts about every 2 seconds. Even if setroubleshoot was not installed my guess is that the SELinux violations are still occurring.
GCC has had trouble for the last three drops. Excuse me, I still have to download 0221 for testing.
Our beta's are usually pretty sound, but from what I see these may change that impression.
If I have gotten something wrong or missed something please let me know if I am worried for no good reason.
Have a Great Day!

Beta freeze starts Tue 2021-02-23. Beta Release (Preferred Target) is Tue 2021-03-16. We've got 3-4 weeks to stabilize before we'd be out of the lane.

Yes, I understand, but Tuesday is the Freeze. During the Freeze, the only things that can be changed are Exceptions. None of those I mentioned are Blockers or Exceptions.
Oh, From what I can see 0221 is in the same state as the prior drops.
Have a Great Day!

Well, if you think a bug should be a freeze exception issue, then propose it as one. You don't need any special status or permissions to do so. You can either manually mark it as blocking the bug "BetaFreezeException", or use the blockerbugs app via https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/propose_bug . They have the same effect.
