Fedora 32 Final Freeze

[Mohan Boddu]

Hi all,

Tomorrow, April 7th 2020, is an important day on the Fedora 32
schedule [1], with significant cut-offs.

Tomorrow we have the Final Freeze [2] which starts at 14:00 UTC.
This means that only packages which fix accepted blocker or freeze
exception bugs [3][4][5] will be marked as 'stable' and included in the
Final composes. Other builds will remain in updates-testing until the
Final release is approved, at which point the Final freeze is lifted and
packages can move to the 'updates' repository, pending updates will
be pushed before final release as zero day updates.

Hi all,

It is just now decided by FESCO to postpone the freeze by 2 days due
to issues with bodhi and koji, that means, the freeze will start on
Thursday, April 09 2020 at 14:00 UTC.

For more information, please look at https://pagure.io/fesco/issue/2369
