I'm really surprised by that claim. Last time I checked it was very far
from that. And Ubuntu delayed its 24.04 because of the xz version. Are
you sure about that?

The Fedora box downloaded 6.8.6 today. Fedora 40 will be released on the
23rd so I'll wait until then before I bother rebooting. It's actually
using 6.7.4 currently. I do have concerns about Plasma 6 and the
complete removal of X and QGIS but I have other machines to run that on.

I couldn't do without X -- X forwarding with ssh is very handy in my
line of work.  (For example, running virt-manager...)
