== Summary ==

Cryptographic policies will be tightened in Fedora ''38''-39,
SHA-1 signatures will no longer be trusted by default.
Fedora ''38'' will do a "jump scare", introducing the change but then
reverting it in time for Beta.
Test your setup with TEST-FEDORA39 today and file bugs in advance so
you won't get bit by Fedora ''38''-39.
I think this is a bad idea. It's quite hostile to packagers. It will break rawhide for months and make it very difficult to stabilize the distro before the beta freeze or do any type of rebuild. It very well may affect other Changes. It will still cause untold problems even if you revert it before the beta freeze. Please test this in COPR (as Miro already said) or somewhere else instead of destabilizing the distro. You can analyze the COPR failures and report bugs just like the Python SIG does for new Python major versions.
