I forget which transition it was but Plasma, KDE, QT, and Wayland weren't 
playing well but it settled down in a couple of weeks. iirc one of them 
was lagging in its release.

Considering every thing prior to the upgrade to 42 beta was Fedora 41, it 
doesn't look all that calm.  The python-qt5-webkit gummed up the works and 
had to be removed.

Well, duh, if you grep out any update you don't see any, do you? I had 
removed a couple of installs like expat-devel from my first list to focus 
on the update history.

I'm not arguing against Fedora but if you treat it like Windows patch 
Tuesday and only update once a month have fun.
