Contingency Plan
GNOME 3.20 will be released in March 2015 and fits well into Fedora 24 schedule. In case of issues with individual modules that aren't either released in time or aren't deemed suitable for Fedora 24, we'll continue using the GNOME 3.18 versions of these modules.
- Contingency mechanism: The Workstation WG evaluates the GNOME 3.20 prerelease before beta freeze and reverts individual changes as needed.
- Contingency deadline: beta freeze
- Blocks release? No
