> I have an update on the koji end. The 1.17 release will not
only drop the yum dependency, it will also have full python 3 support (except for image
building that uses oz / imagefactory). Unfortunately, there is only medium confidence
that the 1.17 release will be ready by the F30 devel freeze on Tuesday. It depends on
whether QE uncovers any issues in its final testing. If we're not able to land the
release on Tuesday, what is the backup plan?

I'm not sure. Honestly, I'd rather take a snapshot of git master
that's going to be Koji 1.17 in Python 3 form for F30+ so that we can
iterate and get to the final release.
Who is the royal "we" in this context? In the lead up to release both
infra and rel-eng are extremely busy and generally the last thing
needed is more things to do and more problems to debug.
None of the Koji components are shipped on any of the media, it's
only
accessed through the repositories, so there's a very low risk there.
I'm more concerned about the stability of the server side components
and the extra stress put on them and the team that supports them 24*7
Moreover, releng redeploys post-GA for prod, so that gives us a long
window to suss out issues. We could even have staging upgraded early
to "kick the tires" if need be.
I think upgrading staging early is a fantastic idea.
The worst thing that could happen if 1.17.0 goes out and there's
a
problem is that 1.17.1 has to be issued. In the grand scheme of
things, that's really not that bad.
The problem is having the developers available to deal with the issues
to make 1.17.1 with the required fixes
