What I was trying to say, but failed, is that there are a lot of ways this could be solved, and Fedora needs to have time to generate consensus on which version can be safely done. I think that it would need to be done by the mass rebuild which seems scheduled around 2025-07-23 . I expect various things could be done 'compose' wise after that date but those would need to be 'done' by mid-August. -- Stephen Smoogen, Red Hat Automotive Let us be kind to one another, for most of us are fighting a hard battle. -- Ian MacClaren
