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.

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.

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 ?

Maybe but we are still on single digit RC ;)

Yes, but it's kind of artificial: releng didn't used to count failed composes. Only RC2, RC3, RC5, RC6, and RC9 so far have been 'real' composes; RC1, RC4, RC7 and RC8 were failed compose attempts that never got outside of releng. On the pre-F23 compose process, we'd only be on RC5 right now.

So yep, this is happening: RC10 with a reverted yelp (to fix the anaconda help issue) is spinning now. The idea is that we get RC9 and RC10 both smoke tested, and go/no-go can choose to ship RC9 or RC10, fudge the release-notes issue and ship RC6, or do something completely different (like slipping again).
RC10 should land in ~3 hours (approximately), Dennis says he's tried to set it up so it will just appear in stage/ when it's complete without him having to do anything, so we'll keep an eye out. As with RC9, the goal should be to do basic smoke tests - burn it to media (optical and USB) and make sure everything works as expected. We should also check Anaconda help works and also GNOME application help still works (I've done this with a scratch image, but we should re-test with the real thing when it's done).
Sigh, I love crunch week...

Wait, you've actually had weeks that DON'T have a crunch factor? What are they like?
