[Test-Announce] Significant bug in fedup to Fedora 21, do not use it right now

[Adam Williamson]

There's a major bug with fedup to Fedora 21 right at the moment,
discovered this morning by Robin Lee (thanks Robin). We should be able
to deal with it some way or another in time for Beta release day, but
for right now it's not a very good idea *at all* to try and upgrade any
system you care about to F21 with fedup. (Of course, it's never a good
idea to upgrade to a pre-release without a recovery plan!)

Of course, if you want to help out with solving this, it'll be a great
help. It'd be good to have folks confirm that the bug happens any time
the 'install updated packages' boot takes more than 15 minutes, and
maybe that the scratch builds I've posted in the bug -
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1159292#c18 - solve it (the
final fix may be different, but that bodge should at least illustrate
that the problem is really what we think it is, if it works).
