On the face of it, I'm pretty certain an outfit such as Red Hat won't
allow such a thing to happen (it may be a possibility in testing i.e.
Fedora for a short while but I doubt even that will happen). In fact,
after another quick look at the link I see that a bug has now been
filed: <https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=877623> about this.

It's probably best to wait & see what happens when 18 ships & if this is
still the case, it's up to individuals to approach the upgrade as they
see fit.

Cheers,
