We currently advise running dnf autoremove and examining the output to
see if it's acceptable to autoremove.
Where? I tend to use the Fedora Magazine articles to refresh my memory and they don't mention this command: https://fedoramagazine.org/upgrading-fedora-30-to-fedora-31/

That said, the distro-sync
