Mark Fedora KDE AArch64 as Release-Blocking
This document represents a proposed Change. As part of the Changes process, proposals are publicly announced in order to receive community feedback. This proposal will only be implemented if approved by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee.
Summary
Mark Fedora KDE AArch64 deliverables as release-blocking, leveraging the same criteria for Fedora on AArch64 and Fedora KDE on x86_64.

Detailed Description
The Fedora KDE SIG already considers Fedora KDE on AArch64 at the same level of importance as Fedora KDE on x86_64, and the SIG wants the Fedora KDE AArch64 deliverables (such as the disk images and ISOs) to be release-blocking alongside existing Fedora KDE x86_64 deliverables.
Feedback
Benefit to Fedora
This allows the Fedora KDE SIG to reinforce its commitment to the highest quality KDE Plasma experience on Fedora possible on AArch64 like on x86_64, and it lets Fedora better support the larger ecosystem around Fedora leveraging KDE Plasma (of one notable member being the Fedora Asahi Remix).
Scope
- Proposal owners: Update pungi-fedora to mark AArch64 artifacts as release blocking (pagureio#pungi-fedora#1290)
- Other developers: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Release engineering: #12165
- Policies and guidelines: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Trademark approval: N/A (not needed for this Change)
- Alignment with the Fedora Strategy: This aligns with expanding and improving Fedora's connections to the larger ecosystem by supporting upstream KDE with our expertise on AArch64 and downstream distributions like the Fedora Asahi Remix using Fedora KDE on AArch64.
Upgrade/compatibility impact
This has no impact on users.
How To Test
Fedora KDE can be tested on AArch64 the same way Fedora Workstation is:
- Fedora KDE AArch64 ISO on either QEMU/KVM or a device with UEFI CD boot such as the Raspberry Pi using UEFI firmware
- Fedora KDE AArch64 raw disk image on existing supported AArch64 devices
User Experience
This does not change anything for the user experience.
Dependencies
There are no extra dependencies.
Contingency Plan
- Contingency mechanism: Revert release-blocking status for Fedora KDE on AArch64
- Contingency deadline: Final Freeze
- Blocks release? Yes
Documentation
There is no user-facing documentation to update. Fedora QA documentation on release-blocking artifacts will note Fedora KDE AArch64 artifacts as release-blocking.
Release Notes
Not applicable as this is not a user-facing Change.
