Well, I don't trust it much either, so the RPM documentation will
carry a lot of bright red warnings. But how will you be able to
trust it any more for 8.5 if people don't test/use it now?

Sooner or later there will be a non-binary-upgradable release, and
I'll flip the RH/Fedora defaults then. It's bad timing that both of
these things happened in the same release cycle, but I have to play
the hand I've been dealt.
