wasn't su disallowed during the last fedora upgrades ?
No.
As far as I know only root is locked by default (at least on Fedora
Workstation). Aka you can't su to root. But you are able to use Switch
to any other (not locked) User, as usual.
Is there a way to undo this noxious action? Because if not, I'll be
migrating both of my computers to CentOs.
So much overreaction to incorrect information. Yes, by default, the
root password is locked, which has been the case for a long time. The
installer lets you set it if you want. There is no change to su or
sudo. As always, if the root password is disabled, you can't use su to
get to root. But again, as always, sudo will still work if your user
account is set as an administrator (i.e. part of wheel group). And ssh
to root will work if you setup a key.
