    How To Test

/NOTE: this will change as things evolve/

 1. Install |dnf-plugin-system-upgrade|:
      * |dnf --enablerepo=updates-testing install
        dnf-plugin-system-upgrade|
 2. |systemctl mask packagekit-offline-update.service
    fwupd-offline-update.service|
 3. |dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23|
      * This should download lots of packages; it will probably also ask
        about importing the new GPG key.
 4. |dnf system-upgrade reboot|
 5. Observe upgrade progress on plymouth boot splash
 6. System reboots at end of upgrade
 7. |systemctl unmask packagekit-offline-update.service
    fwupd-offline-update.service|
 8. That's about it

(steps 2. and 7. are a temporary work-around for RHBZ #1252500
<https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=1252500>)


    User Experience

System upgrades will look a lot more like offline updates (because
they're just big offline updates).

The commands to upgrade the system will probably be more like:

sudo dnf system-upgrade download --releasever=23
sudo dnf system-upgrade reboot


    Dependencies

None known.
