Ignoring the question (for now) of whether SPDX identifiers will be
allowed in f37 and older branches, can you clarify “after F38 branching”?
If the Change is targeting F38, then it seems like SPDX identifiers
should be allowed in Rawhide after what I think would generally be
called “F37 branching,” that is, after Updates-testing Activation[1] for
F37 is done and Rawhide corresponds to F38. Is what you meant?
If packagers truly can’t use SPDX identifiers until “F38 branching”
(Updates-testing Activation for F38, Rawhide is F39), then that seems
pretty late if you want to see any practical impact from this Change in
the F38 release.

So, is it actually allowed to use SPDX identifiers when this phase
is activated, or not?
SPDX identifiers will be allowed when all these conditions will be met:
* Change approved by FESCO
* after F38 branching
* documentation with conversion chart will be ready
This is posted a lot of time ahead, so people can prepare in advance.
Thanks for the explanation. Could this be explicitly written in the
change proposal? Also, when you say "after F38 branching", does that
mean it will not be allowed in f35, f36 and f37 branches? Do we need
to %if-%else it in the spec file? I recall some discussion about this
on the legal list, but I see no guidelines proposed here.
