I actually originally pinged Kalev about the evince with no icons
issue, it was entirely usable by going into full screen mode with
F-11, not ideal, but still usable.

I've been running gnome on what will become F-21 using my "production
work laptop" since mid April with out any major issues WRT to booting
or any of the core functionality. That includes mass rebuilds and
branching. Occasionally there's a blip surrounding soname bumps etc
but nothing that's not easily dealt with either --skip-broken or
waiting a day for the next round of fixes.

In terms of "various forms of systemd/plymouth/gdm breakage" I don't
remember ever in this cycle having my laptop being unable to boot. I
do have a fairly generic widespread Lenovo x220 and that might help,
ultimately it hasn't been "perfect" and there's been issues like
virt-manager being unable to run, certain apps that have occasionally
needed to be backed out but all in all it's been very smooth.

I don't think you really can comment unless you actually have been
evaluating daily.
