February. The current target release date is the early target date

Bug-by-bug detail

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2149246
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2151495
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2151497
Image sizes exceed the specified limits. The choices are to either
shrink the image by removing packages or to riase the limits.
Proposed blockers
-----------------
1. anaconda — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2165433 — MODIFIED
installer fails to boot in text mode or rescue mode with systemd 253
anaconda is writing systemd units to an unexpected area. Upstream PR
4534 contains a candidate fix:
https://github.com/rhinstaller/anaconda/pull/4534
2. grub2 — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2166412 — NEW
ext4 filessystem support missing
Between grub2-2.06-76 and grub2-2.06-78, grub2 apparently lost the
ability to detect ext4 filesystems.
3. kwin — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2168034 — NEW
kwin_wayland often crashed when used as the sddm Wayland compositor
and logging out of Plasma resulting in a black screen
Logging out of Plasma sometimes triggers a kwin crash. This may be
limited to running in a virtual machine.
4. mesa — https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2164667 — ASSIGNED
KDE crashes on start with mesa-23.0.0~rc3-3.fc38
A recent mesa update caused both GNOME and KDE to crash on start.
Update FEDORA-2023-40b973fa06 fixed GNOME, but KDE is still seeing
this issue. The root cause is still uncertain.
