Yes, and not only do I favor that policy, I think we should do better at conforming to it. *Tons* of packages rebase in Fedora without asking FESCo if they should.

But that's not what I'm bringing up, here.

OpenSSL 3.3 was released on 09 Apr 2024, just about the time that Fedora 40 was released. Even if we did not try to align the OpenSSL package and the Fedora release the way we do with Python releases, Rawhide should have rebased when 3.3 was released, and when 3.4 was released.

If Rawhide had rebased, then both Fedora 41 and 42 would have shipped with newer OpenSSL releases. And if they had, we wouldn't have to backport fixes or rebase mid-release.
