Fedora 44 has been branched

Hi All,

Fedora Linux 44 has now been branched (today, 2026-02-05).
Please be sure to do a git fetch -v to pick up the new branch.

As an additional reminder, Rawhide and Fedora Linux 44 have been
completely isolated from previous releases, which
means that anything you do for f44, you also have to do in the rawhide
branch and do a build there. There will be a Fedora Linux 44 compose and
It will appear in [1] once complete.

Note that until we have a successfull compose of f44, we will
be in a post branch freeze.[2]

Bodhi is currently enabled in the Fedora Linux 44 branch as it is for rawhide,
with automatic update creation. At the hit Beta change freeze point in the
Fedora Linux 44 schedule [3] updates-testing will be enabled and manual
Bodhi updates will be required as in all stable releases.
Additionally, some package updates were unpushed at the time
of mass branching to avoid placing them in an inconsistent state.

Discussions are happening on the #releng:fedoraproject.org matrix channel,
and the Release Engineering ticket for this is [4].

Thanks for understanding.
