We've had extreme issues with stability in Rawhide lately that could
have been prevented with automated testing. These issues cost a lot of
time from infrastructure, QA, and release engineering members. They also
caused us to be unable to compose Rawhide and Fedora 28 for quite some
time. Not all of these issues would have been caught by package gating,
but some would.
I'm going to speak up now and be a little more involved.
+1!
Do you want Rawhide used the same as Fedora N releases? If you want
that
I propose we remove Fedora N-1 releases. When branched occurs I have to
switch branches four times. I'd much rather invest time in removing the
need to support Fedora N-1 and if that means gating for Rawhide I can
get on board.
I don't think making Rawhide used the same as Fedora N releases is the
goal here, though I think it would also improve things for people who do
choose to use Rawhide. I personally think we should continue to support N-1.
