F8 -> F9 horror

[scm in seattle]

No I did not read the release notes because...  I was NOT intending to upgrade to F9!  I did accept the updates that the update notifier prompted for me to accept.

Perhaps I have mistakenly checked rawhide/dev repo... which is the only thing that can possibly make sense. 

Thanks to Rex for kindly pointing that out.

His subject says 'F8 -> F9' so presumably he did an upgrade without reading 
the release notes.
