If somebody wants to pick up the packages, I would recommend to file a
request for an Updates Policy exception, so that the packages can be
updated to the latest stable version in stable Fedora branches , even
if it technically contains breaking changes. I think this would make
sense for this kind of project where upstream moves fast and pushes
breaking changes frequently - and I assume people who use hyprland
would know that they need to adapt their configuration frequently.
