## Proposal Modify the "Edition self-identification" criterion to explicitly give the Fedora Council the ability to waive the blocker status of bugs that violate this criterion. Specifically, append the following to https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Fedora_36_Final_Release_Criteria#Self-identification
> The Fedora Council, as the body that defines Editions, may vote to waive this > criterion at its discretion through its regular decision-making process. I included "as the body that defines Edition" to make it clear that the Council's ability to waive this criterion follows from its ownership of what an Edition is and not as a broad "the Council can waive arbitrary criteria" statement. The reason I said "regular decision-making process" is to indicate that waiving a blocker under this criterion requires a normal ticket vote[1], not a policy change[2]. ## Context During F35, Adam discovered that our Cloud deliverables were calling themselves an Edition when they are not. This violates the "Edition self-identifications" Final release criterion. We waived this for F35 under the "late blocker exception". The Cloud SIG is working to re-Editionify Cloud, but that won't happen for F36. The Council agreed to waive this[3], but we don't have an explicit mechanism to allow this. Hence, the proposal above.
