Since you guys seem to be not confident enough in our own criteria writing perhaps we should just stop writing them and have FESCO writing those for us?
I think there is a difference between confidence and realizing that we (and by we, I mean Fedora QA) are not omniscient - we can't possibly know everything about what's reasonable and what makes up a set of acceptably comprehensive criteria to describe an acceptable release.
There is wisdom in getting input from other groups - QA is a part of Fedora as a whole, not some completely isolated group which dictates the definition of a quality release. There is also wisdom in not setting the bar too high - that's a great path to irrelevance and having the criteria ignored.
Right. I do wish you wouldn't exaggerate things, Johann. The criteria are a part of Fedora as a whole, they define what the project considers minimum acceptable functionality for each release point. They are not solely a QA issue, other teams clearly have input into the question.
