Krdp should get installed when upgrading the Fedora release

Krdp, the remote desktop feature since KDE Plasma 6.1, doesn’t get installed while upgrading to a newer Fedora release (e.g. from 40 to 41), although it’s part of KDE Plasma and quite a big feature. I wonder why this is, especially as it comes with a fresh install of Fedora KDE, I think. This makes no sense to me, as it just makes this feature hard to discover for people less familiar with KDE release notes.
Is there any reason for this?

How did you do the upgrade?
With discover or via command line?
Assuming discover has a similar issue with packagekit that gnome-software does.

If you did command line where you using dnf5?

Thanks for the links. I used Discover/PackageKit. Though i’m still confused, as once I did a system upgrade (39 → 40 I think) and it pulled in NeoChat, which got included in Fedora KDE by default at this time.

I just tested this on a VM, the discover update doesn’t pull in krdp.
The workaround listed in the bug did work.
sudo dnf group install kde-desktop
