In https://fedoramagazine.org/upcoming-fedora-atomic-lifecycle-changes/ and https://pagure.io/atomic-wg/issue/228 we did some handwaving about releases that IMO was very vague :smile:
Now that 26 is out, every 25 AH will simply stop receiving updates without admin intervention (either https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Atomic_Host_upgrade or rpm-ostree rebase fedora-atomic/25/x86_64/updates/docker-host).
rpm-ostree rebase fedora-atomic/25/x86_64/updates/docker-host
I really think we need at least some grace period here. Also I'd like some time to polish off end-of-life notification better. So I propose we add infrastructure to continue promotion of /updates -> stable for the 25 ref for at least 2-3 releases. However, we wouldn't release new media (cloud images, ISO) for 25.
we could just have bodhi start updating the 'release' ref instead of the updates ref, but I almost think that's could be misleading as well. At this point it would be good if a decision was made, either decide to stay on f25 (rebase to updates ref), or choose to move to 26 (rebase to 26 remote and 26 ref). We'd obviously need to be more clear on the fact that a decision is required (I'm have a blog post planned to talk about upgrading from f25 to f26, we could talk about this then.
WDYT?

In the meeting last week we agreed we could update this so that the release ref gets updated by bodhi every night. Here is a patch sent to infra to make that happen: https://lists.fedoraproject.org/archives/list/infrastructure@lists.fedoraproject.org/thread/BGJUKGL7UAFQLDXNXFEWKSTN3C743ZYB/

This is done - the f25 release ref will get updated every time bodhi runs now. One side effect is that the updates ref no longer gets updated.
Metadata Update from @dustymabe: - Issue close_status updated to: Fixed - Issue status updated to: Closed (was: Open)
Fixing the updates ref should literally just be:
ln -sfr 25/refs/heads/fedora-atomic/25/x86_64/{docker-host,updates/docker-host}
I'd like to not set precedent for abandoning refs.
will see if we can get that fixed.

@puiterwijk helped us get this done. It is done now.
