R libraries are an example that has surprised some users when libraries go missing after upgrades. Some F38 packages where there have been no changes upstream and that work in F39 may stay at F38 for a while, but there are also orphaned packages that are no longer needed in F39. Some copr repositories may not yet be fully updated for F39 and still need F38 packages. Jeffery Walton's post gives a way to clean out F38 packages that have either been replaced by F39 versions or are no longer needed, but it won't protect you if there are 3rd party binaries that link against 38 libraries. -- George N.
