IMHO that change should be in the release notes because it's
installing bash-completion for dnf, but bash-completion affects pretty
much most/all commands run in a bash terminal i.e. it's affecting the
behaviour of bash as a whole.

A few other packages require (and fewer still recommend)
bash-completion but none of them is installed by default and none of
them is the default package manager in Fedora :)
