Fedora 40 Cleared To Ship AMD ROCm 6, Packages May Reintroduce KDE X11 Support

This is the best summary I could come up with:

The Fedora Engineering and Steering Committee (FESCo) on Monday approved some last-minute features ahead of the Fedora Linux 40 release quickly coming up in February.

• A new tool for Fedora IoT called "Simplified Provisioning" that makes it easier to deploy and configure the Fedora Internet of Things (IoT) edition.
• Fedora IoT will now be built using the RPM-OSTree unified core.
• As for the recent debate around Fedora 40 dropping KDE X11 by default, FESCo has offered their latest guidance.

At the meeting they decided that KDE packages may reintroduce support for X11 are allowed in the main Fedora repositories but that they must not be included by default for any release-blocking deliverables like the ISO/image, etc.

More details on this week's FESco rulings can be found via the Fedora mailing list.
