As everyone knows, the KDE Plasma desktop is a release-blocking artifact for Fedora releases. KDE is important to us, and we don't want to go out the door with it broken.
But, there's a problem that's coming up more and more. One of the release criteria is that all of the default applications need to have their basic functionality tested.* This is particularly a problem with KDE, because the SIG has decided to ship so many applications (apparently three web browswers, now).
I'd like to propose that we either:
1) significantly reduce the number of default apps to a more managable number, or
2) remove this particular blocking test from KDE in particular.
In either case, it would really be helpful to have more release-time validation of shipped applications from the KDE sig.

We did remove several applications (e.g. we're down to 2 browsers), but we didn't have time to go as far as we'd like (ie, more work to be done).

Is there any further progress on this for F29?
One more step, kde-telepathy will no longer be included in the spin, https://pagure.io/fedora-kickstarts/c/c189be913f6ba1a1d8877b98764582c93411e6...
