I am getting four errors:

The first three can be solved by erasing gtatool-gdal, gtatool-matlab
and rdma-core-34.0-1.fc33.i686. The first two are relatively painless,
but rdma-core forces the removal of the entire Wine installation--I did
it and plan/hope to reinstall Wine after the upgrade.
It's worth trying the upgrade with --allowerasing instead of rolling
your own erasures. It may be able to come up with a strategy that
involves removing less stuff.

In my defense I am a little apprehensive about --allowerasing because I have a hole in my pants from being bitten by it years ago and having to rescue-install hundreds of packages including RPM :).  Of course I know that I don't have to worry about it any more because of protected packages---in fact one of my 'rolled-own' erasure pulled systemd and triggered the protected package fuse, so I know it works!

However, in this case, --best --allowerasing  trips up the following errors, while plain upgrade just skips packages with conflicts ( iptables-libs ) and broken dependencies (gst and gwe ).

 Problem 1: problem with installed package gst-0.7.4-2.fc33.noarch
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package gst-0.7.4-2.fc33.noarch
  - gst-0.7.4-2.fc33.noarch does not belong to a distupgrade repository
  - nothing provides python3-pyxdg >= 0.27 needed by gst-0.7.5-2.fc34.noarch
 Problem 2: problem with installed package gwe-0.15.2-1.fc33.noarch
  - cannot install the best update candidate for package gwe-0.15.2-1.fc33.noarch
  - gwe-0.15.2-1.fc33.noarch does not belong to a distupgrade repository
  - nothing provides python3-pyxdg >= 0.27 needed by gwe-0.15.3-1.fc34.noarch  Problem 3: cannot install the best update candidate for package iptables-1.8.5-6.fc33.x86_64
  - problem with installed package iptables-1.8.5-6.fc33.x86_64
  - package iptables-1.8.7-3.fc34.x86_64 requires iptables-libs(x86-64) = 1.8.7-3.fc34, but none of the providers can be installed   - cannot install the best update candidate for package iptables-libs-1.8.5-6.fc33.x86_64   - cannot install both iptables-libs-1.8.7-3.fc34.x86_64 and iptables-libs-1.8.7-6.fc34.x86_64   - iptables-1.8.5-6.fc33.x86_64 does not belong to a distupgrade repository
(try to add '--skip-broken' to skip uninstallable packages)

Indeed adding --best --allowerasing --skip-broken skips those three packages again, i.e. behaves like a plain system-upgrade with no options.

In general, if the problem is basically "package X wasn't rebuilt for a
library soname bump", the appropriate step is to file a bug against
package X. For the gtatool stuff, though, it looks to me like it got
orphaned and retired, but has not been specifically obsoleted; we may
need to put it in fedora-obsolete-packages. There were several attempts
to rebuild it between July and November, but they all apparently failed
(well, the last seems to have succeeded but was never tagged and has
been garbage-collected), and now it's been orphaned.

So if they did succeed, wouldn't it make sense to include them? I am a reasonably heavy Octave user, and although I actually didn't have to load Matlab files recently, I think it is a useful feature. Maybe Orion has an opinion about this?
