First of all, thanks for doing this.

As for the areas you mentioned, I personally think:

VPN should work in final. VPN is important enough for people working from home.

As for ABRT, I'd say it should block beta, because if something crashes on beta we probably want to know about it before we go final.

I have no opinions on the other areas.

(Note: I'm not a WG member, so you shouldn't consider my opinion as one coming from the WG)
