--- Comment #22 from Adam Williamson <awilliam(a)redhat.com> ---
On further consideration, as people are hitting this on F36, it seems odd to me
to suggest blocking F37 on it. It's not an F37 bug, and blocking the F37
release on it wouldn't really help anyone, because if we don't ship F37 the
only alternative we're offering is "use F36 instead", and the bug affects
F36.
So, I'm gonna nominate this as a prioritized bug instead, and suggest at the
next blocker review that we drop it as a proposed blocker. It certainly seems
like potentially a major problem that we can't do dnf operations with 1G or
less of RAM, but it doesn't feel like the release blocker process is the way to
handle it.
