[Discuss] FedUp to be retired

[david]

Of course this makes perfect sense. The systemd people noticed that
something was not yet rolled into systemd. On the bright side, as soon
as the kernel, the gui, and all of the games are incorporated into
systemd, updates will be really simple: you just update systemd.

Instead, the systemd offline updates process will be used, and that will be integrated into our standard update tools, so doing an upgrade from Fedora Workstation will be just like any other update in GNOME Software (except, of course, bigger).
