Given the Alpha freeze is end of July, that seems too late.  I don't
like the idea of skirting deadlines to get something that's
historically touchy into a release at the last minute.  I think what
Matthias is saying is F24 makes a better target here.  That's fine;
I'm just looking to clarify.

Either that, or we have people resort only to something like
fedora-upgrade.  Frankly, changing twice in the course of two releases
won't build user confidence, though.  cc'ing wwoods to see what he
thinks.
