I think there's at least general consensus around the idea that a system upgraded from Fedora X to Fedora X+1 should be as close as possible as a fresh install of Fedora X+1. The versioned Python packages already work like that, and it works pretty well in my experience. Additionally, this works around the problem of "what happens when users keep upgrading their Fedora install for a few releases" - otherwise they might get stuck with ancient nodejs versions. I'd rather not repeat the "OpenJDK 11 -> 17" upgrade problems, where some of my systems were stuck with OpenJDK 11 instead of getting upgraded to OpenJDK 17 upon upgrade.
