Fedora 21 Final Release Candidate 5 (RC5) Available Now!

[Reindl Harald]

F21 was released yesterday as final GA

anyways, there is never a full reinstall needed

we have servers here running on F20 originally installed in 2008 with 
FC9 and upgraded with YUM over the years (darcut, systemd, grub2....)

P.S.:
you should not do a "reply all" ot 8 lists as response to an announcement
