Hello all,

just a quick update on this topic.  This took a bit more time than I
originally expected, but I was able to test that configuration.

Please expect that step 2 happens on Monday, 2021-12-20 (I don't want to
break things just when weekend starts).

For more info see the previous email, and we should be able to help you
next week with the migration on #fedora-buildsys, when needed.

Also, the step 3 will be delayed at least by 20 days, so you still have the
1-month transition period.

Sorry for inconvenience,
Pavel
