How long does it typically take for what's actually available on the mirrors to catch up with these links? Right now if I pull https://getfedora.org/atomic_qcow2_latest it directs to https://download.fedoraproject.org/pub/alt/atomic/stable/Fedora-Atomic-25-20161221.0/CloudImages/x86_64/images/Fedora-Atomic-25-20161221.0.x86_64.qcow2 which currently seems to be a 404. Still trying to pull together some automation to push updates to apps.openstack.org automatically :).

Thanks,

Steve
