I don't think there's any need to call out the specific currently
supported desktops in the criterion. The criteria are supposed to be
generic and adapt well to change; this criterion would need to be
re-written any time we changed policy on supported desktops.

It may be worth explicitly stating that any kind of supported install
should be upgradeable, how about:

"The installer must be able to successfully complete an upgrade
installation from a clean, fully updated default installation (from any
official install medium) of the previous stable Fedora release, either
via preupgrade or by booting to the installer manually. The upgraded
system must meet all release criteria"
