What is the upstream direction here? Will there be a config item to
set the default?  We should absolutely be making sure that we are
following that direction.

Submit the patch for ark just like you typically would. Historically
in rawhide, we had a file called "rebase-notes.txt"  That kind of got
dropped with the ark workflow as we haven't had to use it in several
releases, but I would recommend creating redhat/rebase-notes.txt and
just adding a line with what needs to be changed or dropped for Fedora
33 and older.  I will check it before I rebase back.
