I propose new final criterion:
"The installer must be able to run memory test."
This feature is very useful and should work. We have test case for this yet [1]. I'd move it to final release level.

Well, it's not actually the installer. memtestx86 is a completely standalone thing which we just put on the images, with a boot menu option: if you pick it, nothing Fedora-ish at all actually runs.
Perhaps:
"All release media must include a standalone memory test utility. A boot menu option to launch this utility must be present and must work correctly."

I agree with that, my fault. So I propose new final criterion:
"All release media must include a standalone memory test utility. A boot menu option to launch this utility must be present and must work correctly."
Thanks Adam for your feedback.

Because there was no objections, I've added new final criterion to [1].
