Hi all,

Today's an important day on the Fedora 34 schedule[1], with several
significant cut-offs. First of all today is the Bodhi activation point [2].
That means that from now all Fedora 34 packages must be submitted to
updates-testing and pass the relevant requirements[3] before they will be
marked as 'stable' and moved to the fedora repository.

Today is also the Alpha freeze[4]. This means that only packages which fix
accepted blocker or freeze exception bugs[5][6] will be marked as 'stable'
and included in the Alpha composes. Other builds will remain in
updates-testing until the Alpha release is approved, at which point the
Alpha freeze is lifted and packages can move to 'stable' as usual until the
Beta freeze.

Today is also the Software String freeze[7], which means that strings
marked for translation in Fedora-translated projects should not now be
changed for Fedora 34.

Finally, today is the 'completion deadline' Change Checkpoint[8], meaning
that Fedora 34 Changes must now be 'feature complete or close enough to
completion that a majority of its functionality can be tested'.

Regards
Tomas Hrcka
