Update on this: the first candidate without Pi fixes is done and
currently available for testing - see
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_39_RC_1.1_Summary .
The second candidate is running, when it is done,
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Test_Results:Fedora_39_RC_1.2_Summary
will be live.

Most tests of either candidate will be valid for both, but we
especially would like testing of the second candidate (when it's done)
on ARM hardware - obviously on Raspberry Pi, but also on any other ARM
hardware folks have lying around. We ended up having to revert uboot-
tools to an older version to try and address the Pi issues, so we need
to check that hasn't broken anything else important. If you run into
problems, please file a bug, propose it as a release blocker, and maybe
reply here just to be sure :)

Thanks!
