Hi All,

The upstream kernel bumped the major version to 4.0-rc1 yesterday. Barring any unforeseen local test failures, the 4.0-rc1 build should land in the f22/rawhide composes tomorrow. The koji builds will be available a bit later today.

Most of the userspace issues around the major version number changing should have been sorted out with the 3.x change 3 years ago. However, one can never underestimate the short-sightedness of humans so some things might still pop up. If you are using out of tree drivers (vbox, nvidia) you might want to pay extra attention. This is just a heads up in case you have weird issues arise.

If you have a userspace issue that you think is due to the version number (not a normal kernel crash or driver problem), please be sure to indicate that in any bugs you may file by including "kernel 4.x" in the subject. Please also test with the last 3.20 kernel build before declaring this a 4.x version issue, and indicate that in the bug as well. Hopefully these bugs will be few and far between.
