*Dennis Gilmore 09/24/2024  IRC
 +
"I have updated a few machines by running "yum --releasever=21 install
 +
fedora-release" then "yum distro-sync" and not had any issues. As I
 +
understand this thread it is soley about what to do in the case of
 +
using fedup only. in which case we need to setup some things in
 +
mirrormanager and do some testing and see what happens. note that we
 +
may not be able to use the fedora-install-21 prefix as the install
 +
trees all have a prefix already assigned"
