Greetings.
Fedora 18 is entering final change freeze. There will be one more push to stable at 23:59:59 UTC tonight that will appear in tomorrow's branched compose.
Newly Submitted updates will land in updates-testing after being pushed. Only updates that fix accepted blocker and accepted NTH bugs for the Final release will be pushed into the base repo when stable.
Once Final release is certified gold, any updates waiting for stable status will be pushed to the stable updates repository, and become 0 day updates for the release.
We are in the Pre release section of the release, so the Pre release to final updates policy applies:
