The large number of complaints seen in this mailing list over the past
week seem to me to be more than sufficient evidence that it was done
without adequate preparation or lead time.

I'm personally still ticked off that I'm being forced to update my
development workstation to F-10 immediately in order to continue doing
useful work on rawhide packages.  I don't have time for that right now.
Since F-9 is still supported, isn't it a management failing to have
allowed this to happen without a plan to make mock on F-9 work?
