A quick example: BetaBlocker +1 (where the tracker name is one of BetaBlocker/FinalBlocker/BetaFE/FinalFE/0Day/PreviousRelease and the vote is one of +1/0/-1)

Remote desktop doesn't appear listed in the Default application functionality criteria, and I don't see another one that applies.

FinalBlocker -1

Well this breaks GNOME Remote Desktop RDP login but does not impact core desktop functionality, so I lean FE rather than blocker.

Discussed in a blocker review meeting [1] on 2026-03-09. The outcome was:

!agreed 2444824 - punt (delay decision) - we decided to delay the decision on this for more manual investigation into the various facets (different clients, GNOME case vs. installer case, getting more logs about what's going on when there's a failure)

FinalBlocker +1

I believe that the remote desktop functionality, even though is not listed in the application functionality criteria, can be considered an important core desktop part. It is used by many end-users and companies in various setups and such users expect it to work properly out-of-box.

AGREED AcceptedFinalFreezeException

Discussed at the 2026-03-16 (blocker / freeze exception) review meeting:

This is accepted as a freeze exception issue as the GNOME remote desktop case is definitely heavily broken and we want that fixed for release if possible. Blocker status decision is delayed as the blocker case (RDP install) seems to fail much less often, but we want to investigate more thoroughly before deciding.
