This cycle was actually kind of an interesting case, because on the

hand, there's a pretty good argument that we were in a very bad state
at freeze time this cycle. On the *other* hand, one of the main reasons
we were in a bad state is because people kept frickin' landing de-
stabilizing changes while we were still dealing with the fallout from
the previous de-stabilizing change: we've had GCC 8, various
unannounced soname bumps, basically all of nu-Modularity showing up in
the middle there somewhere, anaconda modularization, new versions of
pungi and pykickstart and systemd, and that's just the things I
*remember*. It's been something of a wild ride.
The reason why there are so many major changes in F28 is pretty clear: the
F27 cycle was too short! Hardly any major change made it in there. So we now
get double the changes.
