Hey folks! Just wanted to give the list a heads-up about a significant
change I've just found out about in systemd 241.

There are a couple of sysctls that were apparently introduced with
Linux kernel 4.19, fs.protected_regular and fs.protected_fifos . These
are defined here:

<snip> sigh - I forgot to mention what the change actually *was*. I
guess it's obvious from context, but, for clarity: with systemd 241,
these sysctls default to 1 (on). Previously they defaulted to 0 (off).
I think this change, even if it was an upstream change, warrants a
system-wide Change to Fedora 30. At the very least, it has to be
prominently featured in the release notes.
