    @adamw for 7.0, yes, I know; but that is to late to fix regressions in 7.0.y before Justin will rebase Fedora to it, as fixing upstream regressions in 7.0.y will most of the time take a few weeks (usually at least two or three) from what I see in my upstream work; so if you want to prevent those, your have to start earlier. Witch Fedora kinda does by shipping mainline in rawhide. Those test weeks according to Justin serve a different purpose (something that one might call more "downstream focused"). To quote him from https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/t/fedora-ai-developer-desktop-objective/184941/47 ""The purpose of test weeks isn’t so much what you think. Rarely do we see some massive regression in hardware support. Most of that is caught in rawhide testing. What we are actually looking for in test weeks is breaks in userspace on older releases because the kernel has dropped or changed something which works fine on rawhide or even the current release, but might not work so well on an older supported Fedora release.""
