I don't really mind, but it's not like it takes much energy to test. I usually use that boot option all the time anyway, so I just mark it as PASS when I remember to. Definitely mark it as optional (i.e., don't mark it), but I don't mind whether we take it out entirely or leave it in. -- Adam Williamson Fedora QA Community Monkey IRC: adamw | Twitter: AdamW_Fedora | identi.ca: adamwfedora http://www.happyassassin.net -- test mailing list test@lists.fedoraproject.org To unsubscribe: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/test
