Hmm.  The issue.d support is new in util-linux and I'm not
sure what is required to cause it to be reloaded.  I imagine
there's some systemd unit or whatever, but I didn't find it
while poking the documentation.  Removing the symlink and
rebooting the VM caused the message to be removed.

On the server flavored install, there's an additional "Admin
Console:" entry which comes from /etc/issue (a symlink to
/usr/lib/os.release.d/issue-server, via /usr/lib/issue).

Removing /etc/issue removes that as well.  It looks like
there might be further messages displayed via /etc/motd.d
too (whether currently or planned for a cockpit update).

Here's a bug report about dropping the message from
/etc/issue which has some links to other related tickets:

    https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1591389

That might be a decent starting point if you're looking to
file a bug asking that no messages be shown by default.

At the least, the documentation involving this could use
some work.  There seems to be a good bit of hidden magic
involved at the moment.  The fedora-release package is what
installs /etc/issue and its scriptlets handle the symlinks
to the various os flavors, in case it helps you with further
digging.
