I upgraded Fedora 38 to Fedora 44 (assuming 44-38≅2 ;), and now I'm going
through /etc/ and fixing config files for services that aren't working.
And I'm unpleasantly surprised that the upgrade didn't create any 
versions of the config files included in the packages, which would 
normally be written as .rpmnew files.

For example, I'm currently editing the configuration of NUT (Network UPS 
Tool) - it has a lot of config files in /etc/ups/, I had most of them 
changed in Fedora 38, after the upgrade to 44 they remained unchanged
 - but there is not a single .rpmnew/.rpmold file. Which is annoying, 
because this piece of SW has apparently been evolving quite a bit 
lately - e.g. the default configuration file, which was 5 kB in F38, 
is now 12 kB, etc.
So if I wanted to edit the configuration on new versions of the files,
I would have to download them additionally - which is extra work.

Is this behavior of the package upgrade normal and logical?
