[Test-Announce] Fedora 44 Final Freeze Is Now In Effect

Hi all,

Today, 2026-03-31, is an important day on the Fedora Linux 44 schedule [1],
with significant cut-offs.

Today we have the Final Freeze [2] which starts at 14:00 UTC. This means
that only packages fixing accepted blocker or freeze exception bugs
[3][4][5] will be marked as 'stable' and included in the Final composes.
Other builds will remain in updates-testing until the Final release is
approved. At that point, the final freeze is lifted and packages can move
to the 'updates' repository. Pending updates will be pushed before final
release as zero day updates.

Regards,
Patrik Polakovic
