[Test-Announce]Fedora Linux 41 Bodhi updates-testing activation & Beta freeze

Hi all,

Today's an important day on the Fedora Linux 41 schedule [1], with
several significant cut-offs. First, today is the Bodhi
updates-testing activation point [2]. That means that from now on, all
Fedora Linux 41 packages must be submitted for updates-testing and
pass the relevant requirements [3] before they are marked as 'stable'
and moved to the Fedora Repository.

Today is also the Beta freeze [4]. This means only packages that fix
accepted blocker or freeze exception bugs [5][6] 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.

Today is also the Software String freeze [7], which means that strings
marked for translation in Fedora-translated projects should not now be
changed for Fedora Linux f41.

Finally, today is the 'completion deadline' Change Checkpoint [8],
meaning that Fedora Linux 41 Changes must now be 'feature complete or
close enough to completion that a majority of its functionality can be
tested'. All tracking bugs should be on ON_QA state or later to
reflect this.

Regards,
Fedora Release Engineering
