It has been 5 days since the fix, and we have had positive confirmation that COPR rawhide builds are proceeding [1]. I've filed the F22 bug to do the backport [2]. Given the internal testing we've done with the patch, and the Fedora Rawhide shakeout, and the desire to improve the cloud/container image sizes, I'm strongly proposing we commit this change for the Beta freeze. As discussed the change has no impact on code, it's entirely a packaging change, which carries it's own risks, but the same kind of risks as a runtime change. Only users running with kickstart --instLangs or setting %_install_langs are going to see any difference. Cheers, Carlos.
