Well, for desktop validation it is clear that fallback mode creates
quite different environment from gnome-shell. For installation testing
it is true that mostly we test anaconda, but a lot of our test cases
contains a requirement "System boots successfully". Can we assume that
booting into fallback mode successfully in KVM satisfies that 
requirement? That's one of the questions for the proposed topic.
