Fedore Core 4

We need to make sure that when we upgrade our supported platforms, that everybody knows officially. Here's the things that now would happen:

• Build team: Start testing builds on the new platform and log bugs.
• Build team also needs to test whether old platforms can continue to be supported (or how much work that would require)
• QA needs to test on the new platform.
• We approve the new platform and announce this along with compatibility with old platform requirements.
• Some machines that QA, build and IT maintain need to be upgraded.
• Developers themselves need to upgrade their machines
• Update the Wiki supported platform info (Build team)
