I do not want to lower the seriousness of this announcement and request for additional testing. However, did not we break the record in number of RCs before a release ?

On our modified schedule [1], Fedora 23 Final Release Candidate 9 (RC9)
is now available for testing. Please help us complete all the
validation testing!

The only difference between RC6 and RC9 is that RC9 includes the
correct version of fedora-release-notes. We don't really need to do a
full validation run on RC9, we should just check the release-notes are
as expected, and then concentrate on sanity checking - running basic
installs with all the images, ideally written to real media - to ensure
nothing went wonky during compose. RC7 and RC8 were failed compose
attempts.

As a heads-up, it's possible we'll be doing an RC10 to try and fix the
anaconda help issue. Work is ongoing on that.

the following pages for download links and testing instructions.
Normally dl.fedoraproject.org should provide the fastest download, but
download-
ib01.fedoraproject.org is available as a mirror (with an approximately
1 hour lag) in case of trouble. To use it, just replace "dl" with
"download-ib01" in the download URL.
