The next Tuesday, on 2017-May-16, we will reach two important milestones of the Fedora 26 release [1]:

== Change Checkpoint: 100% Code Complete Deadline [2] == * New accepted changes must be code complete, meaning all the code required to enable to the new change is finished. * The level of code completeness is reflected as tracker bug state ON_QA. The change does not have to be fully tested by this deadline.

== Beta Freeze [3] == Only packages which fix accepted blocker or freeze exception bugs [4] will be marked as 'stable' and included in the Beta composes. Other builds will remain in updates-testing until the Beta release is approved, at which point the Beta freeze is lifted and packages can move to 'stable' as usual until the Final freeze.
