Maybe Fedora needs parallel installable "python" and "python-next" stacks?
Primary goal is that everything works on the "python" ("current")
stack, which powers DNF, etc.
Secondary goal is to get "everything" working on python-next.
Once "almost everything" works on python-next it gets promoted to
current python for the next release.
This description is obviously oversimplified, "almost everything"
would be a criteria with some critical packages/functionality being a
must, and some % of "leaf" packages broken being acceptable at
promotion time.
It also doesn't solve _every_ problem -- when various dependencies'
versions can combine in multiple ways, where some work some don't,
there's not much a distro can do without getting into boiling oceans.
OTOH, it does give you a target -- try to make _this_ set work.
Tooling might be needed to streamline the "promotion" process.
cheers,
