Juts a random idea, not very thought-out:
Could we keep optical media bugs reported by users as blocking, but not require
it during validation testing?
aka: Fedora QE would no longer have to verify optical media works.
but: If a tester finds an optical media bug, it is still blocking.
That would still have 2 of the 3 listed benefits. The remaining benefit is
arguable (is optical media a corner case? there are no corners on DVD).
Personally speaking I don't really *like* this fudge, but yes, we *can*
do it. We actually have one fudge of precisely this kind in the
criteria right now, so there is a clear precedent. It's to do with
Cockpit browser support:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_32_Final_Release_Criteria#Cockpit_m...
"Manual testing will occur on the Firefox/Fedora platform. It will not
be performed on the Chrome/Fedora platform nor any of the Windows / OSX
platforms mentioned above, but if issues in code related to Fedora /
Cockpit (and not third-party software such as the third-party browsers)
in meeting the functional criteria are reported against those
platforms, they may block the release."
