I suppose I may have mis-understood the question. As I didn't read
this as being "live image" centric.
Basically, things that can't be fixed with updates are the prime
candidates for blocker/FE status. So, installer bugs, bugs that are
visible when booted live, and kernel/X/etc. showstoppers which would
prevent you getting an install done.
Issues that are apparent only after install *can* be blocker/FE bugs,
but there's a higher bar for it.
I generally don't use/test the Live images all that much. But,
if
folks use the Live images as a way of deciding if they will use the
release and if the Live image supports logging out/in.....then I
still feel it is a must.
You *can* log out / log in on the live image, but it's not something
that's very commonly used, I don't think.
One question. Would a netinstall eliminate the need to install and
then update to get the fix?
A default netinstall would, yes - by default network installs use the
updates repository as a package source. You can disable it, but that
takes effort.
Immediately after installing from the live image the bug would be
present, but it'd be solved on the first update.
