As Fedora 28 released, we find that the URL for fedora-updates

For Fedora 27 it looks like

While for Fedora 28,
http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/fedora/linux/updates/28/Everything/x86_64/
And this was not mentioned in the wiki page

Today we've got feedback from users that they are now having problems
updating to Fedora 27. Checking his repo it shows he is using a baseurl
with the Fedora 27 format.
So I wonder if this is a bug in Fedora 28 tier 0 or this is the expected
behavior? And if this is the expected behavior, do we have any way to
mitigate the problems for legacy users (people who using baseurl
pointing to their closest mirror) rather than asking them to change the
baseurl in repo config?
I can answer it only from the MirrorManager side. It it the expected
behaviour and is related to the tooling creating the repositories. That
is all I know. MirrorManager handles is correctly and if repo files have
been edited it usually is up to the user to adapt to changes. This
answer is probably not very helpful but it would be interesting to know
why people are changing their repo files. To avoid situation like this
is the reason why we handle it in MirrorManager.
If this is not a proper list to ask this question, can someone point
out
which list shall I ask for information?
Maybe contact release engineering.
