Given that this: - doesn't have the risk of breaking the operating system, - but only the small risk that some unidentified software we ship might no longer be able to connect to a very small amount of servers, the alpha release seems like a good opportunity to me to allow for feedback from users in testing environments. If we'll get any feedback of nonworking connections, I assume it will be limited to more exotic software that does SSL/TLS connections (because OpenSSL + GnuTLS + NSS + glib-networking are known to have been fixed). If we get any such feedback prior to shipping stable updates for Fedora 23 + 24, it will give us the chance to work on changes to potentially affected software (which we currently don't know if any such software exists). I agree with Florian, if nobody is concerned with the idea to make the change for stable F23/F24 updates, then we should include it as part of the final F25, too, and earlier testing is better. If it cannot become part of F25, then this cleanup would have to be postponed until after the release of F25, for consistency.
