As I wrote (and confirmed by testing) in the BZ ticket, the packages as
submitted already do not interfere with the X11->Wayland upgrade path
determined by the KDE Sig, and I do not intend changing that. (Adding
versioned self-Obsoletes could possibly theoretically achieve that, but that
is a game I do not intend to play. The only thing I care about, which is why
I bumped that Epoch, is that the upgrade Obsoletes is applied only ONCE on
the upgrade to Fedora 40 and not on routine updates in Fedora 40 or on
upgrades from Fedora 40 to later releases, because anybody who still/again
has the -x11 packages on Fedora 40 has explicitly opted in and should not
have to opt in repeatedly.)
While (as also stated in the BZ ticket) I disagree that it is helpful to
forcefully remove the -x11 packages on the upgrade to F40, my packages do
not and will not interfere with that process.
If you want to explicitly encode this in the proposal, I am OK with that,
but then it should also explicitly say that further updates/upgrades should
not obsolete my packages (i.e., that the KDE SIG is not allowed to bump the
Epoch of their Obsoletes – I really do not want to get into an Epoch war
about that Obsoletes and I hope the KDE SIG does not want that either).
