OK. What if we made it more explicit, since this is clearly one of the major goals of this criterion? What about this:
~~~~~~~~~~
The upgraded system must identify as the same Edition/Spin and present the same working environment as the system before upgrade (unless that change is intentional).
The upgraded system must include any Fedora-built packages that were installed before upgrade (unless those packages were expected to be removed by an intentional packaging change [1]).
The upgrade process may also add packages that, in the new release, are newly included in package groups that were installed before upgrade.
[1] E.g. a package is obsoleted by a different one; a package dependency is no longer required; a package is dropped from a package group; a package is retired and its dependencies can no longer be satisfied; etc.

I'd also like to have the text above be moved from a footnote and be included in the main criterion text instead (except [1], that could be a footnote). The instructions seem to be too important to be hidden in a footnote. We should use footnotes for clarifying, but not for hiding core requirements.
I phrased it as 'may' for practical reasons - I'm not sure all
supported upgrade methods actually do this. If someone wants to check
that both dnf system-upgrade and GNOME Software upgrades actually do
this, we could make it 'must', I guess.
I expect this to be broken with the switch to DNF5, sadly, at least in my limited experience. I'd love to have "must" in there, but that should probably be a standalone discussion.
