Yes. The questions are, is it working as intended and is there a way to make it work better? Also I'm curious if the behavior of 'dnf system-upgrade' differs from gnome-software/PackageKit method. I don't think this problem can be release blocking for two reasons: the Beta criterion for upgrades is narrowly written to exclude anything that makes it "not clean" and 3rd party stuff definitely isn't covered. "For each one of the release-blocking package sets, it must be possible to successfully complete a direct upgrade from a fully updated, clean default installation of each of the last two stable Fedora releases with that package set installed." Further, a note for that says: "This criterion applies to the recommended upgrade mechanisms only." And per: https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/quick-docs/upgrading/ Only Gnome Software is "recommended" for Workstation. All other Fedora editions and variants, dnf is recommended. Practically I think we'd probably block on dnf system-upgrade bugs because chances are any breakage on Workstation will affect other Fedora products. But if it were true that a bug only affected Workstation and no other Fedora product; and also the bug didn't happen with Gnome Software, would we block? Hmmm.
