This is because it is only a release-blocking desktop for ARM. It's an awkward situation: GNOME and KDE are kind of "grandfathered in" as release blocking desktops, but neither works well on ARM (we tried having KDE as the release-blocking ARM desktop for a bit, but it didn't go really well). So if we want to have desktop ARM block the release at all, we have to pick another desktop, and Xfce is the one we pick. Since it's explicitly *for ARM* that Xfce is a blocking desktop, it would feel a bit odd to test it only on x86_64 (where it is *not* a blocking desktop). -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net _______________________________________________ xfce mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected] Fedora Code of Conduct: https://getfedora.org/code-of-conduct.html List Guidelines: https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Mailing_list_guidelines List Archives: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/[email protected]
