Yes, if 9 is excluded (or included) that means the admin either doesn't care about 9 and doesn't want to mirror it, or explicitly cares about it and only wants to mirror it. Either way I wish to honor those choices by not changing the top level directory where "9" or "8" will be. This also means we won't have to re-file our export approval. > > Will the ISOs be respun to reflect the changes as well so that what is > in os/ or in os.newkey/ meets what each of the ISO expects?

At this time, the isos will not be respun. We will however re-sign the SHA1SUM file with the new gpg key. We are certain that the content on the ISOs (and the numerous hard copies floating about) are safe. The only content to be left in the repos these isos will be able to access out of the box will be the transition fedora-update release, and the fixed packagekit for gpg importing. We'll also have mirrormanager direct all requests for the old dir directly to mirrors which we have ultimate control over. > > Has creating/composing an entirely new 9.1/ release tree been > considered?

It was considered briefly, but not very much. Calling something 9.1 would also have a bit of an assumption that we've fixed some bugs or otherwise made it a better release, which we aren't doing. We're merely re-signing content and placing it in a slightly different directory, but it's still 9, not 9+something.
