Fedora considers dropping GNOME X11 session from repositories

The Fedora [distrowatch.com] distribution has defaulted to running the GNOME and Plasma desktop sessions on Wayland for a release or two.

A new proposal [fedoraproject.org] suggests Fedora may remove the GNOME X11 session option from the distribution entirely, dropping GNOME X11 from the package repositories. "Remove the GNOME X11 packages from the Fedora repositories. All users of the GNOME X11 session will be migrated to the GNOME Wayland session." While this change has not been implemented yet, it is likely to happen as GNOME 50 is expected to drop X11 support, making GNOME a Wayland-only desktop environment.
