So, the good news on this point is that we're doing a relatively good job of keeping people current -- the work we're doing on making upgrades smooth seems to be paying off. A little shy of 47% of mirror checkins come from F25 (with F26 beta and Rawhide contributing another 1.5%). F24 is 15%, and F23 is 12%. F22 drops down to 6.2%, F21 is 4.3%, and F20 is 5.9%. (F20 looks like it's going to linger for a good long time.) Everthing below F20 is basically peanuts in comparison (although shout-out to F8, still holding on at around 1.6%, which puts it higher than every pre-F20 release). I'm not sure exactly where the cutoff should be, but I guess I'd be a bit hesitant to move F23 away just yet. But, maybe we should make it easier for mirrors to have only-current and current-1? (F24 is only 15%, but of course that was much higher six months at F25 launch.)
