Almost nothing gets by them.  Almost, bet very seldom.

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.

The updates will calm down after a bit.

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.

My list:
$ dnf history list | grep -v update | grep -v upgrade | grep -v remove

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.
