Oh, while I'm at it: you'll also currently get a perfect set of openQA
failures for *any* Fedora 24 update. This is because the base disk
images for Fedora 24 aren't there any more; I wrote the script that
looks after the disk images to only keep images for the last two stable
releases around, and forgot about the one-month transition period at
the start of a cycle when there are still updates for the last *three*
stable releases. I'll try and figure out something to do about this too
(it should be possible). Again, sorry for the bogus failures.
Re-runs of all the bogus failures for the ppc64 issue are complete.
I've now tweaked the disk image script so that the F24 base disk images
are available again, and have re-scheduled the tests for all F24
updates, so those are running now. Again, sorry for any inconvenience.
