A few days after would be rather bad and should have been previously
clearly communicated, given that preupgrade is one of our official 'Good
Ways To Upgrade' and lots of people want to upgrade on release day. If
there's a significant chance preupgrading to F14 won't be possible on
release day, could you please co-ordinate with the appropriate teams to
ensure the PRs that go out on release day explain this and give an ETA
for preupgrade?
Sorry, I misunderstood. preupgrade to f14 should work on release day,
as it should get the release data from
http://mirrors.fedoraproject.org/releases.txt (someone just has to
update stable=true on release day and sync it) -- what will take a few
days is for me to push a preupgrade package that enables the "There is
a new release available" notification.
There's no reason to push this on release day as clients only check
for new releases once a week by default.
