===[[Changes/ExcludeFromWeakAutodetect | Install only newly recommended packages on upgrades with dnf/PackageKit/microdnf]]===
We would like to change a default behavior dnf/PackageKit/microdnf to install only newly recommended packages on upgrades. Internally we will change exclude_from_weak_autodetect configuration option to True. exclude_from_weak_autodetect enables autodetection of unmet weak dependencies (Recommends or Supplements) of installed packages and blocks installation of packages satisfying already unmet dependencies. In other words: When you don't have the recommended package installed, it won't be automatically installed with future upgrades of the recommending package.

===[[Changes/GnutlsAllowlisting | Switch GnuTLS to allowlisting]]===
Presently, crypto-policies controls GnuTLS in a way that "hard-disables" select algorithms, leaving no option for the applications using GnuTLS to reenable said algorithms back. We propose switching to more future-proof allowlisting-based configuration method and offering API within GnuTLS to loosen the system defaults for specific processes.

===[[Changes/RPMCoW | DNF/RPM Copy on Write enablement for all variants]]===
===[[Changes/OstreeNativeContainer | ostree native containers (Preview) / CoreOS layering]]===
RPM Copy on Write provides a better experience for Fedora Users as it reduces the amount of I/O and offsets CPU cost of package decompression. RPM Copy on Write uses reflinking capabilities in btrfs, which is the default filesystem starting from Fedora 33 for most variants. Note that this behavior is not being turned on by default for this Change.
Enhance the (rpm-)ostree stack to natively support OCI/Docker containers as a transport and delivery mechanism for operating system content.

===[[Changes/glibc32 Build Adjustments | glibc 32 Build Adjustments]]===
===[[Changes/Ansible5 | Ansible 5]]===
The glibc32 package is a special package used by gcc and a few other packages to work around the lack of RPM multilib repository support in Koji. It is difficult to maintain, and the current approach raises questions regarding (L)GPL compliance.
The ansible project has re-organized how they release and distribute ansible. This change moves Fedora to be in sync with those changes and retires the old 'ansible classic/2.9.x' package in favor of a 'ansible' package that pulls in ansible-core (the engine) and includes all the collections in upstream ansible releases.

The monolithic daemon provided by GNOME Keyring will be split into dedicated sub-daemons, so that they can be consistently managed by systemd.
Any user changes to a configuration generated by authselect will be overwritten by subsequent call to authselect. Users that do not want to use authselect to manage their nsswitch and PAM configuration can opt-out by calling authselect opt-out or removing /etc/authselect/authselect.conf. It will also make authselect work on CoreOS and other rpm-ostree systems.

Install only newly recommended packages on upgrades with dnf/PackageKit/microdnf

We would like to change a default behavior dnf/PackageKit/microdnf to install only newly recommended packages on upgrades. Internally we will change exclude_from_weak_autodetect configuration option to True. exclude_from_weak_autodetect enables autodetection of unmet weak dependencies (Recommends or Supplements) of installed packages and blocks installation of packages satisfying already unmet dependencies. In other words: When you don't have the recommended package installed, it won't be automatically installed with future upgrades of the recommending package.

Switch GnuTLS to allowlisting

Presently, crypto-policies controls GnuTLS in a way that "hard-disables" select algorithms, leaving no option for the applications using GnuTLS to reenable said algorithms back. We propose switching to more future-proof allowlisting-based configuration method and offering API within GnuTLS to loosen the system defaults for specific processes.

Ansible 5

The ansible project has re-organized how they release and distribute ansible.

Any user changes to a configuration generated by authselect will be overwritten by subsequent call to authselect. Users that do not want to use authselect to manage their nsswitch and PAM configuration can opt-out by calling authselect opt-out or removing /etc/authselect/authselect.conf. It will also make authselect work on CoreOS and other rpm-ostree systems.
