[fedora-arm] Call for testing: Fedora 44 Final validation tests (don't wait for candidates!)

Hi folks! I just wanted to send out a call to emphasize that it's
really important for us to run all the Final validation tests *now*, so
we can catch any blocker bugs as early as possible and have time to
work on them calmly. It's not good to wait for the "candidate" composes
because we really only do those when we're nearly ready to release;
it's intended that until that time, we test on Beta or the nightly
composes that are nominated for release validation events.

You can always find the summary page for the most recently-nominated
nightly here:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Summary

that page is synthesized (via scary wiki magic) from the individual
results pages, where you'll find full instructions and download links:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Installation_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Server_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Base_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Desktop_Test
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Current_Cloud_Test

Testing the nightlies is a bit preferred to testing the Beta as they
have newer bits, but it's still useful to run the Final tests on Beta,
if you want to do that, the pages are:

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_44_Beta_1.2_Summary

https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_44_Beta_1.2_Installation
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_44_Beta_1.2_Server
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_44_Beta_1.2_Base
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_44_Beta_1.2_Desktop
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_44_Beta_1.2_Cloud

It would be awesome if folks can help make sure as many Final tests
have been run as possible. If you find any bugs, please report them to
Bugzilla and propose them as blockers if appropriate via
https://qa.fedoraproject.org/blockerbugs/propose_bug . The test cases
almost all link to the release criteria they relate to, you can read
those to see if the bug seems like a blocker; if you're not sure but it
feels serious, go ahead and propose it, we can always reject it!

There is a 'longitudinal' view of the validation results at
https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/testcase_stats/44/ . You can use that
to find tests that have not been run at all for F44 yet, or not run for
a long time. Look for rows with red backgrounds especially.

Thanks folks!
