Re: rpkg-util v3 change, moving copr builders to F35

[Pavel Raiskup]

Hello maintainers,

seems like we are finally able to migrate to Fedora 35.  If all the
necessary test pass, we should be OK to migrate tomorrow, 2022-01-25.

This also means that we'll finally run against rpkg-util v3+ == no way
back to auto_pack feature.

rpkg-util v3 change, moving copr builders to F35

We couldn't finish testing today.  There are too many issues with the new
F35 qcow2 images (rpkg-util incompatibilities and spawning delays).

This is to be deployed as soon as possible (tomorrow hopefully), I will
notify here once we are done with this.
