Thanks for the explanation. Could this be explicitly written in the change
proposal? Also, when you say "after F38 branching", does that mean it will not
be allowed in f35, f36 and f37 branches? Do we need to %if-%else it in the spec
file? I recall some discussion about this on the legal list, but I see no
guidelines proposed here.
It is not technically possible for us to separate the Bodhi update
checks in this manner, so the goal will be to add approved SPDX
identifiers to the list, rather than removing Fedora identifiers.
That means once the tooling changes are in place, SPDX identifiers
will be permitted across all update code streams supported by the
Fedora Project.
From my perspective, we will be many years (as in we're likely talking
RHEL 11 or RHEL 12 timeframe) before even *deprecating* Fedora
identifiers.
