Update notification period change

[Adam Williamson]

Hey, folks. So, just wanted to kick off a discussion regarding this bug:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=688305

The default update notification period has been changed for GNOME in F15
from 1 day to 1 week (security updates still get notifications
immediately). This is a change that's come from upstream, the GNOME
design team, who consider it a UI design issue. QA and FPL think this is
at least partly a distro policy issue as well as / more than a UI design
issue, and think we should consider whether we actually want to make
this change for Fedora, and if so whether we should have a different
update period for the pre-release cycle. QA certainly feels that 1 day
is more appropriate than 1 week during pre-release time.

We chatted a bit about this during the blocker review meeting today, but
all agreed this would be a more appropriate venue for discussion, so I
wanted to kick off a thread. :) Thoughts?
