There is a proposal to allow better testing of packages, and groups of
packages. Actually at least two proposals but the one I'm thinking of
now is:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Taskotron
Just for the sake of accuracy, taskotron isn't so much a proposal as a
thing undergoing full-steam-ahead development, which fesco is kind of
expecting to be available for fedora.next:
https://bitbucket.org/fedoraqa
it is the replacement for AutoQA, which is a thing that currently exists
and which we currently use for Real Stuff.
