Oh, thanks for highlighting this. Indeed I think that can be a good first
step towards enabling full gating.

@Dusty Mabe <du...@dustymabe.com> , how about doing this for the F43
development cycle? This give us a good way to "protect" to CoreOS builds as
well as getting more data for turning on "real" gating as adamw mentioned.
When F43 branches from Rawhide we can then open a FESCO ticket to discuss
enabling gating.
