Talking about changes, you mentioned that there are many applications

are tested at the end of the cycle. Can you please share more details about
it? Is it a matter of the number of the applications in the Live image, or
there are some of them which are more troublesome to test.
Or maybe the applications by KDE simply don't have automated tests, while
there are some of them for Gnome applications?
Or a combination of all of them?
See Steven's other reply to this for some context. Here is the release
criterion:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_26_Final_Release_Criteria#Default_a...
which says:
All applications that can be launched using the standard graphical
mechanism of a release-blocking desktop after a default installation of
that desktop must start successfully and withstand a basic
functionality test.
Basic functionality means that the app must at least be broadly
capable of its most basic expected operations, and that it must not
crash without user intervention or with only basic user intervention.
From this, I think sheer number is an issue. In Workstation, there are
GUI 36 applications available on the Live image, not counting Anaconda.
That's already a lot, really -- but in KDE, I count *79* in the menu at
the bottom left.
