Following up here — Flock 2026 has passed and this has been quiet since the ticket was opened in April, though I know the conversations around this have been positive so far. @jspaleta, we're hoping to trial this approach with BalCCon 2k26 in Novi Sad, Serbia this September 2026, and it seems reasonable to target getting this in place within the Fedora Linux 45 release cycle to line up with that. More discussion is still needed on the details. @amoloney, do you concur with shifting this to F45?
