 Nice mock-up Hurry!  This helps visualize the proposed changes.  I like
 the focus on 'usage scenarios'.  I'm not sure if that's the right term,
 but what I mean is the six categories you've provided: boot.iso, DVD, CD,
 Live, PXE and General tests.  Anything that affects the outcome of those
 usage scenarios, will be listed in the appropriate section.  Everything
 else goes into the bucket as a 'variation'.  Seems sensible.

 With the many different wiki tables, in some ways, it looks similar to how
 we used to track test results on the wiki
 (http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestResults/Fedora9Install/FinalRelease
 and http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA/TestResults/Fedora10Install/Final).
 However, with your proposal, there is a much better integration between
 the usage scenario (or use case) and the test.  That seems like a positive
 change!

 With regards to the table display format, I can't think of any immediate
 benefits using the different approaches.  There is only so much we can do
 with wiki tables, right?  Out of curiousity, I copied your draft and
 created 2 new pages to help me visualize how this might look under
 different approaches:
  1. Using a table for each variation --
 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jlaska/Draft
  2. Using a single table, with variation column --
 https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/User:Jlaska/Draft3  -- note, I also removed
 the References column here.  I'm curious if that helps us avoid duplicate
 <ref> tags in future wikis.

 What do you think?  Is this any better or worse?
