Elevating Fedora Server VM distribution image
Currently, our VM distribution image is not a fully-fledged distribution medium like our
iso media. It is merely a "nice to have“.
This means, for example, that even a serious bug cannot become a "release
blocker", as an iso file could. Fedora then launches a new release with a (on
purpose) faulty Server VM image. This is already the case with release 40. Our VM image
still contains the LVM error, which happens to be not immediately noticeable in a standard
VM creation. And for the SBC image, the error will be corrected, although we do not
currently know how.
This no longer fits into today's world, where virtual machines are a common working
model. To rectify this, we need to achieve a corresponding qualification with FESCo.
We need to appoint someone to initiate and oversee this process.
