Fedora 33 Accepted System-Wide Changes
These changes have been accepted by the Fedora Engineering Steering Committee for the Fedora 33 Release as System-Wide Changes.
Aarch64 Pointer Authentication & Branch Target Enablement
Arm Pointer Authentication (PAC) is a method of hardening code from Return Oriented Programming (ROP) attacks. It uses a tag in a pointer to sign and verify pointers. Branch Target Identification (BTI) is another code hardening method, where the branch/jump target is identified with a special landing pad instruction. Outside of some system support in glibc+kernel, packages gain the additional hardening by compiling with the -mbranch-protection= flag available in recent versions of GCC. In particular -mbranch-protection=standard enables both BTI and PAC, with backwards compatible to armv8.0 code sequences that activate on v8.3 (PAC) & v8.5 (BTI) enabled Arm machines.

Make btrfs the default file system for desktop variants
For laptop and workstation installs of Fedora, we want to provide file system features to users in a transparent fashion. We want to add new features, while reducing the amount of expertise needed to deal with situations like running out of disk space. Btrfs is well adapted to this role by design philosophy, let's make it the default.

Cleanup GNOME Hidden Boot Menu Integration
GNOME integrates with Fedora's hidden boot menu feature to signal to the bootloader that boot was successful and to request the menu to be shown the next boot when "Boot Options" is selected in the Shutdown/Reboot dialog. Currently Fedora carries downstream patches for this, which directly call the Fedora specific grub2-set-bootflag helper. The goal of this change is to replace these downstream patches with a clean bootloader agnostic solution which can be submitted upstream.

CMake to do out-of-source builds
%cmake and %cmake_kf5 macros will be adjusted (-B parameter) to use separate build folder (already standardized %{_vpath_builddir} macro). Additionally, %cmake_build, %cmake_install and %ctest macro will be created (and backported to the older supported Fedora releases) to perform various operations that are commonly used with CMake in a backend-agnostic (Makefiles, Ninja, etc.) way.

Disable dmraid-activation.service on first run if no dmraid sets are found
The Fedora workstation livecd is the default Fedora variant getfedora.org advices people to download. As such most Fedora workstation installs will be done from the livecd. This means that any package which is part of the livecd will be part of the default install for most users.

ELN Buildroot and Compose
ELN is a new buildroot and compose process for Fedora that will take Fedora Rawhide dist-git sources and emulate a Red Hat Enterprise Linux compose. Feedback from this build, compose and integration testing will be provided to Fedora packagers so that they can see the potential impact of their changes on RHEL development.

Node.js 14.x by default
The latest release of Node.js to carry a 30-month lifecycle is the 14.x series. As with 12.x, 10.x and 8.x before it, Fedora 33 will carry 14.x as the default Node.js interpreter for the system. The 12.x interpreter will remain available as a non-default module stream.

Zanata Removal

Changes/LTO by default for package builds
This is a proposal to enable link time optimization (LTO) of packages built with rpmbuild by default. It's an over-simplification, but think of LTO as deferring analysis, optimization and code generation until creation of an executable or dynamic shared object.

Deprecate python-pytoml
The python-pytoml (python3-pytoml) package will be deprecated in Fedora 33. Pytoml is deprecated upstream in favor of toml (python-toml), but existing Fedora packages depend on it, so we cannot remove it yet. Packagers are encouraged to work with upstream to switch to python-toml, but python-pytoml remains available until it is a leaf package, it will be removed then (possibly not yet in Fedora 33).

glibc 32 Build Adjustments

Automatic RPM dependencies on Python Extras
The Python RPM dependency generator (that generates python3.Xdist(foo) requirements) will be adapted to also generate requirements on Python extras (e.g. python3.Xdist(foo[bar])) whenever upstream metadata indicate such dependency. An easy opt out mechanism will exist. A supported way of adding metapackages that provide such Python extras (e.g. python3.Xdist(foo[bar])) will be introduced. Change owners will add the missing metapackages that would otherwise cause broken dependencies (in non-modular packages).

Retire python26
The python26 package will be retired without replacement from Fedora 33. Python 2.6 has been End of Life since October 2013 and was kept around only to test software targeting RHEL/EPEL 6. The removal is aligned with EPEL 6 EOL.
