Hi Ben,

Thanks for starting the discussion.

I agree with the intent. This has been a topic of discussion within the
Fedora QA team for a while now and we have made some efforts to engage SIGs
early in the cycle.

As far as the question of when the testing should be a focus from
respective SIGs? In my humble opinion, it should be continuous and should
be a priority in their respective upstream. SIGs start testing during RC
will act as a helping hand but it won't prevent late findings of issue.

Cheers,
Sudhir
