Fedoramagazine:
Of course are this changes planed. Editions do have less to configure and are ready while they can be release blocker. They have to be tested and if they do throw errors/mistakes, they have to be fixed before release.
As yo already found out that the F42 is pre-released you can help debug them so nothing keeps in the way to release on time.
As soon as things work in the “official” editions, the members of the different groups have more time to bring the spins up to date so that there will be the same look & feel.
It is in the queue just to let you know:
Anaconda as native Wayland application
Currently, Anaconda is still an X11 application, which we would like to fix and make Anaconda Wayland native application to allow us drop of the X11 dependencies from installation ISO images. However, this change is not just a simple switch and we need to do some adjustments during the path which will impact user experience.
