[Test-Announce] Fedora 27 Beta Freeze

[Mohan Boddu]

Hi all,

Today is an important day on the Fedora 27 schedule[1], with two
 significant cut-offs.

Today is the Beta freeze[2]. This means that only packages which fix
accepted blocker or freeze exception bugs[3][4] will be marked as 'stable'
and included in the Beta composes. Other builds will remain in
updates-testing until the Beta release is approved, at which point the Beta
freeze is lifted and packages can move to 'stable' as usual until the Final
freeze.

Today is also '100% code complete deadline' Change Checkpoint[5], meaning
that Fedora 27 Changes must now be code complete, meaning all the code
required to enable to the new change is finished. The level of code
completeness is reflected as tracker bug state ON_QA. The change does not
have to be fully tested by this deadline'.

Finally, Fedora is not doing Alpha releases[6] anymore by keeping Rawhide
at alpha quality.

Regards

Mohan Boddu
