Need more information.

Could it be? https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=826537#c27

No, that is not the case. See above. The issues with old kernel sticking
around after upgrade were already known and reported before release.

The #820351 case is fundamentally more or less impossible to solve
entirely, outside of sticking Epochs in the kernel package. So there was
no point holding up the release for that. The #820340 case is specific
to preupgrade and isn't a showstopper, so we didn't hold the release for
that one either. There is an upgrade currently in testing that ought to
fix it.

Please apologize me, but if #820340 was not a showstopper, so which bug should be a showstopper? I am very disappointed with that, because preupgrade is the official supported way to upgrade Fedora versions
