In the wake of the BZ 1924808[1] discussion in Thursday's Go/No-Go
meeting[2], I am proposing an addition to the Basic Release
Criteria[3]. This would go into Post-Install Requirements -> Expected
installed system boot behavior -> First boot utilities (appended after
the existing sentence):
If a utility for creating user accounts and other configuration is
configured to launch, it must be visible within 10 seconds of the first boot reaching the
launch point.
Why 10 seconds? Why not? That sort of feels like the maximum length of
time someone could reasonably be expected to wait. A shorter time
might be better.
I don't particularly love the wording here, but I wanted to make it
clear that it's not 10 seconds from power on, but 10 seconds from the
time the boot up reaches the state where we expect gnome-initial-setup
or its counterparts to appear.
