Well, "killed" is a really strong word for what amounts to resurrecting 2
packages to give users a choice.
I am actually trying to prevent Plasma X11 support from being "killed".

I do not see how it is a better experience to have to enable an additional
repository, for which dnf will warn the user that it is "unsupported" (even
if it does not have that in the name as the kde6-x11-unsupported Copr does)
than to have those packages available in the standard Fedora repository.

Glad to hear that Plasma on Wayland is working so great for you. Nobody is
taking that away from you. Wayland will still be the default (as it has been
for a few releases already), and the X11 packages will not even be installed
by default (in fact, they will be uninstalled by default when upgrading to
Fedora 40! My packages do not change that). So you get to enjoy your
"amazing" HDR etc. with no changes whatsoever. Nobody is taking that away
from you.
All I am asking, and willing to make happen, is to not take Plasma X11 away
from us.
