I meant to send an email to this effect yesterday, but somehow I didn't,
though I clearly remember writing it. Very strange. Anyhow, since no-one
had objections to these criteria, I went ahead and added them to the F14
Beta and Final criteria:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_Final_Release_Criteria
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_14_Beta_Release_Criteria

I have adjusted two test cases to cover the update and session
management criteria:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_desktop_updates
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_desktop_login

and created a new test to cover the keyring criterion:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:Testcase_desktop_keyring

please do review these and make sure they make sense, and suggest any
possible improvements. Thanks! Note the cases are intentionally written
to be desktop-agnostic, the hedging and lack of references to a specific
desktop (e.g. GNOME) are intentional.
