there is new atomic trees built as part of the package updates process managed
by bodhi.

once f22 is final only rawhide.

there is zero automated testing available, but we really need it, afaik it is
all manual

We need people to test, and a process to move things through stages. build all
the images, etc. a location to put things, i,e lots of things

really we just need to push things stable. if we do updates-testing composes.
we should be able to get the testing done and pushed through. there there is
no need to go off and do special things

it would be most ideal to have things signed off as good. we kinda have it for
updates with bodhi, we likely need something new or to extend something
existing.

we probably should do all supported releases and rawhide

test everything :) including other parts of fedora. automated tests for cloud
images would be good also. I fear we currently do not do anywhere near the
testing that we should.

We could do so, I would want to see a really good reason to do so. I would
hope that what is done for one part of fedora does not break or have negative
impacts on other parts of fedora, so just pushing the updates in should be
good. making rawhide more of a place to be, for me should be our goal. get
the new awesome things in there and used by people, leave the stable releases
stable
