Their published information is "a few weeks, but don't hold us to it"
So no idea WTF is going on this time.
How long ago was that?
That has been their posted answer for all versions.

"Let's just say that there's no ETA and we release when it's ready from now on.
Maybe we should skip it and go straight for K27 when Fedora releases 27 in October/November. 
(Just kidding)"....Might make more sense than they realize at this point.

Posting from Deepin now, BTW.

I saw that fedora desktop could be installed by
dnf. Could I go from Korora to Fedora bydnfor do I have to download a new image to USB, format, and start all over? -

Korora is a different OS, as @gjacobse learned when he tried to follow Fedora update processes on Korora. DNF is a package installer, as Fedora and Korora aren't packages but different (but closely related) operating systems, I don't know of any reasonable way to convert from one to another. There might be some theoretical possibility there, but it would be absurdly complex.

Got tired of waiting for these guys to update Korora 25. -

Sorry. Didn't mean to equate it to Cinnamon or anything like that. Just considering going from Korora to pure Fedora on this laptop.

Just switched to fedora and installed KVM. What is the deal with Boxes? Is it "enterprise"-worthy to learn?

Boxes is just a silly thing for using KVM on the desktop for a VirtualBox style replacement. I've not seen any value to it.

It does some kind of remote system control too according to what they say but I've never used it.

Boxes is for the simple minded users. And it only allow allow creation of VMs under Qemu/KVM User Session.

A little late to the party, but I've finally settled on Korora as my distro of choice on my home laptop. Linux newbie here so I went with Mint initially as it preached stability and was most popular. It was good, but I wanted more. Love the cinnamon interface of Korora with the base of Fedora. Looking forward to running it for a while and seeing how stable it is in the long run.

I switched my laptop to straight Fedora with the Cinnamon Desktop Experience, has been really solid. Not ready to switch my desktop yet from Korora.

Latest kernel broke my laptop. Switched to Fedora 26 with GNOME. Smooth sailing since then.

I’ll be doing the same.

How is the feedback of Cinnamon on vanilla Fedora? Anything lacking of note?

I've really been enjoying it. Nothing really missing as far as I know. Updates are about a daily occurence.

Works great for me so far.
I'd really like to find a good dock that will be present on all my 3 monitors.

Using Korora Cinnamon on my desktop and Fedora Cinnamon on my laptop, the differences are minor. Functionality is pretty much the same. Few extra packages on Korora and such.
