Hey folks. So this morning I remembered that
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Blocker_Bug_FAQ exists - it's a rather
useful page for explaining bits of the blocker process that we should
probably refer to more often. Given that the question keeps coming up, I
added a section to it which explains the precedent we've established for
deciding blocker status for graphics hardware bugs:

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.
