Fedora 23 Met By Another "No-Go" Today

[profoundWHALE]

Ok, maybe someone can explain this to me ... the referenced defect is that the F22 changelog is included in the release, but I could not figure out if that means "only the F22 changelog, and not the one for F23" or just "both are there" ... because in the 2nd case I am slightly stumped that this would count as blocking.

			The fedora-release-notes package in F23 is still for F22:  fedora-release-notes-22.01-1.fc22.noarch
			"This document provides the release notes for Fedora 22..."  it is included in all live images except, I think,
			Workstation (because it's part of the @standard group, which is in fedora-live-base.ks).
			
			So the KDE, Xfce etc etc lives have a menu entry which shows you the Fedora 22 release notes.
			
			This is a clear violation of "The final branded release notes must be present on release-blocking images
			and the appropriately versioned generic release notes must be available in the release repository.",
			which somehow no-one thought to check until now. Le sigh.

 For the record, this was discussed at 2015-10-29 Go/No-Go meeting, acting as a blocker review meeting: https://meetbot-raw.fedoraproject.or...-29-16.00.html . The decision to accept it as a blocker was generally affirmed.

That was all from the bugzilla link. Hopefully that shines some light on it. I bolded some text for emphasis.

Humorous it may be, and while not exactly roflmao, I am having a good chuckle. I also am in the (acquired) habit of reading release notes assiduously before pulling the final trigger on "You have marked partitions /sdev/sdb3 and /dev/sdb4 to be reformatted. All data will be lost! Are you really sure you want to go through with this???"

I prefer my surprises to be pleasant. Thanks, release team!

I'm glad they're doing this. The Canonicle team should have done this with the 'buntu releases, the 15.10 release was a bug filled mess. I'm currently waiting for Fedora 23 to drop so I can ditch UbuntuGnome.

Phoronix: Fedora 23 Met By Another "No-Go" Today

While Fedora 23 had been running on-time this development cycle while still being a feature-packed release, it's hit some snags at the last milestone. Last week a one-week delay of Fedora 23 was announced for bug-fixing, and now at today's go/no-go meeting, another no-go came up...
