You are making two doubtful assumptions:
1. That the users will bother reporting their issues to the server
administrators at all. I would expect them to just blame Fedora for it and
move to a different operating system that just works, or at most to apply a
local workaround (what I called "jump through hoops", e.g., changing the
system crypto policy to LEGACY and/or loading the legacy provider with its
legacy algorithms into OpenSSL) and then forget about it.
2. That the server administrators will actually care about complaints from
non-Windows users, assuming they even read user complaints at all to begin
with, and that they will be willing to switch to newer (more secure)
algorithms that may break compatibility with some ancient operating systems
that other users might still use.
I do not believe that Fedora actually has any levy to get server
administrators to upgrade their setups. We have to work with whatever
obsolete junk is out there.
