Re: release dates

Today: branch date. Google thinks it's smart I guess, giving everything but a
schedule reference on page 1. Most of the time when I try DDG, nothing useful
shows up on the first page of hits, if anywhere. So I tried DDG, and no hits are
titled to resemble a release schedule or a roadmap to the future. I hit the first
anyway, and low and behold, on yet another scrollbar free page needing a
scrollbar, branching was yesterday:
December 18th – Changes requiring infrastructure changes
December 24th – Changes requiring mass rebuild
December 24th – System Wide changes
January 14th – Self Contained changes
February 4th – Changes need to be Testable
February 4th – Branching
<absent scrollbar needed>

In the meantime while waiting for any response here, I simply looked on the
mirrors to see if 42 was there yet, and since it is, the question became moot.

OTOH, none of the usual system-upgrade options to work around conflicts
(--skip-broken, --allow-erasing, or whatever else used to be on
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading-fedora-offline/) worked,
so I tried simply upgrade --releasever=42, and ran into no such impediments.
Several packages, 6-7 or so, failed to upgrade. Ho hum. I cleaned up all but two
conflicteds with rpm and wget, and all now seems good enough:
