Hi folks! So, we have this Alpha release criterion:

it was added back in 2013 - https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/test/2013-June/116531.html - to provide a documented process by which FESCo could designate bugs as blocking the release. Practically, FESCo has always been able to do this, but we didn't used to have a way of keeping track of it.
It occurs to me that there's really no reason for FESCo-designated blockers to go through the review process: there's really nothing to be discussed, if FESCo says "we designate this bug as a blocker", then it's a blocker. We don't need to propose and review it. So I suggest we should amend the Automatic Blockers policy:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/QA:SOP_blocker_bug_process#Automatic_blockers
with this additional bullet:
- Bugs designated as release blockers by FESCo (see [[{{FedoraVersion|
long|next}}_Alpha_Release_Criteria#FESCo_blocker_bugs]])
does this make sense to you all? Thanks!
Makes sense. Make it so.
