This is a concrete proposal to adjust our release criteria to match the outcome of the discussion. The outcome is that we will not block on broken optical support for any Alpha/Beta composes, and we will block on optical support for Final composes only for Workstation Live and Everything netinst image (please note that I didn't receive much feedback for my last point where I suggested Everything netinst is made release blocking [2] - if you have something to add, there's still time).

Optical boot testing is optional at this stage. For Final, we expect full coverage for the Alpha / Final rows with VM and USB boot method. Optical boot testing in Final is mandatory for [[Fedora_Program_Management/ReleaseBlocking/Fedora26|supported images]].
