Description Adam Williamson 2016-04-29 20:19:40 UTC 
This is re the new graphical OS upgrade support feature: https://blogs.gnome.org/hughsie/2016/04/20/upgrading-fedora-23-to-24-using-gnome-software/

It would be useful for testing if there were a simple way to enable upgrades to development releases (i.e. easier than hand-editing a JSON file). Perhaps a dconf key would be good enough? Or a tweak-tool setting backed by a dconf key, or something like that.

Filing this ticket per discussion at this week's QA meeting.
