I disagree with "and affect at least a few different adapters" ... if
it is just one GPU that a lot of people use it should be sufficent to
be a blocker (common laptop model, an APU or ironlake / ivy / snb gpu
as those are part of the CPU and thus likely have a large userbase).
So if it is a single but commonly used GPU (large userbase) it should
be no different than a bug that affects 3 GPUs that has a userbase as
large as the other one.
In theory that's correct but I'm not sure there's actually such a thing
as a single adapter with enough users to constitute a blocker on its
own. The more popular Intel ones would be closest to qualifying, I
guess. Of course, it's hard to prove this by smolt, see my narrative on
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=847818 . Still, I'll see if
I can come up with clearer wording, thanks for the note.
