A few years ago, a design team contributor was working on an animated video
extolling our painless upgrade process. But, in the midst of that, they
updated to a new Fedora release, and discovered that Inkscape had dropped an
obscure export format which they happened to rely on.

I'd love it if we could produce both "fast" and "slow" streams. Ideally
that's orthogonal to Fedora runtime release, but practically speaking that's
what we have now. Maybe in the future we could build a "slow" stream as part
of EPEL on a UBI or CentOS Stream runtime?
