dracut > 009-12 never made it to f15-stable

[Bill McGonigle]

Hi, all,

It looks like the latest f15 dracut to ever make it to -stable was 
009-12.  I ran across this when I found a laptop that hadn't been on in 
a while and needed an upgrade to f17.  The trick, of course, is that 
convertfs went into dracut-009-13.  After -13, -14 and -15 were built. 
The Wiki links to the former bodhi page for -15 :

   https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/dracut-009-15.fc15

but apparently it never got enough karma to move to stable.  I'm 
presuming that when f15 went EOL all the bodhi pages went away too, so 
the link went dead.

That leaves us with no yum upgrade path from 15 to 17 (due to 
infrastructure details, not functionality).  I think that means 
preupgrade won't work either (though I use RAID-1 for /boot, so I don't 
know too much about preupgrade).

Suggestions for the best way forward?  I was thinking some constructive 
options are:
1) out-of-cycle push to stable
2) place in -testing (easy enough to document, doesn't help trivial 
preupgrade case)
3) host elsewhere on Fedora infrastructure (ditto)
4) host -15 off Fedora infrastructure (not awesome in my book)

We could always tell folks that they have to step through f16 first or 
do a DVD upgrade, but those are somewhat less elegant and much more 
bandwidth intensive.

-Bill
