With the 4.5 kernel out and the merge window for 4.6 opened up, we had to make a decision on what the release kernel for F24 would be. The decision has been made to ship F24 with the 4.5 kernel with 4.6 available as an update once it is ready. Timing wise, 4.6 *should* release just before the final freeze for F24, but that is cutting it insanely close. Should Fedora move on as scheduled, and 4.6 have some delay due to a bug that impacts users, that would be unfortunate. This means we have a good bit of time to make sure that everything is working as intended with 4.5 in Fedora. It also means that any installer critical fixes will need to be backported to 4.5.
Given that 4.6 is out and current F24 final freeze is not scheduled until 2016-05-31 should not F24 be released with the 4.6 kernel?
I think the original logic is still sound. There have been three delays for Fedora 24 already, in the original schedule today was to be GA. I don't think it's worth any risk for another slip.
So you prefer not catching potentially any bugs before final GA release but rather expose them to the end users through 0 day update instead?
