That does not work if the package in F39 gets upgraded later.
That said, since F39 is going to stick to Plasma 5 and F40 is going to ship
only Plasma 6, something like Obsoletes: kwin-x11 < 5.90 in kwin-wayland
might work.
That said, I actually have a plan how to let users opt out of the Obsoletes
before upgrading to F40, and that plan also depends on the Epoch: I want to
create a Copr for F39 providing kwin-x11 5.x and plasma-workspace-x11 5.x
packages with Epoch 1. Then the opt-in would be:
1. dnf copr enable kkofler/keep-plasma-x11-on-f40-upgrade
2. dnf upgrade
3. dnf copr disable kkofler/keep-plasma-x11-on-f40-upgrade
4. upgrade to F40 using any of the supported or unsupported methods (but DO
NOT distro-sync F39 before upgrading – if you want to do that, do it in step
2 with the temporary Copr enabled).
