I personally would likely be opposed to such a change, just on the
grounds (as stated earlier) that we really can't get too strict at Alpha
stage. Remember, people always want us to stop slipping releases, and
the slips quite often happen at Alpha stage. ISTR upgrading was broken
at Alpha stage in F16; if we'd been obliged to have upgrading working by
Alpha, maybe the F16 release would have been delayed *another* week, and
QA and anaconda teams would have lost even _more_ sleep.
I would request that you bring it up in the next QA meeting and discuss
it even if you are opposed to it. As far as Fedora 16 alpha problem is
concerned, I think you are optimizing at the wrong level. Changes that
destabilize the release to that extend has to be handled in a different
branch or split out or postponed.
