+1 to all of the above.
In addition, I would consider a drop of supported hardware to be a major
change and hence inherently system-wide, and also something that should not
be dropped upon users late in the release cycle without prior warning,
catching them off-guard. (That said, I do not know how many, if any, users
of pre-z13 s390x exist in the Fedora user base.)
