@jberkus - i'm fully operating in many contexts. I'm thinking about many 
different use cases where systems are upgraded manually and where systems are 
upgraded automatically. What I would like to do is operate on a principle of 
least surprise. Up until this point I would say that upgrading from one major 
release to the next around "major release day" would have been a really rocky 
process that isn't necessarily something that people would want to happen 
without knowing what they were upgrading to beforehand. This is a big reason 
why I would want to make "automated major upgrades" a configurable option, so 
the user can choose the behavior. 

Since we are now working more effectively as a working group, maybe we'll be 
good enough to make sure that transitions from one release to the next go more 
smoothly than they have in the past. I agree that kubernetes and/or docker have 
been the largest agents for "pause" on performing major upgrades. Agreed that 
if we remove those variables then a single stream becomes less of a concern.

It might be the wrong time to do this, but I'll bring it up now. I personally 
like the fact that we have different ostree repos for different major versions 
of Fedora. This allows us to timebox adding updates to the repo (meaning it 
doesn't grow in size forever; yes pruning exists, I know), as well as create 
new repos periodically in the future (think new mode for storage for ostree 
repo that we want to start using). If we support "automatically going to the 
next major version" we either need to combine the ostree repos into one repo or 
we need to support some sort of automated "add remote + rebase" support in 
ostree/rpm-ostree. Can we resolve what we would need to do about this 
particular issue? I prefer automated "add remote + rebase", but that isn't 
something that exists today.
