Re: F39 proposal: FontAwesome6 (Self-Contained Change proposal)

[Leslie Satenstein]

Hi Developers.

Because of some issues, I cannot log into the site to provide an improvement request for
Fedora. I present a discussion idea, and a suggestion.
I would like to suggest a change for the /etc/fstab to 

replace the use of UUID=....   with PARTUUID=...
The Benefit----------------
When one has to restore a partition, it is often necessary to reformat same first,
followed by the restoration using a backup.   With UUID=..  the reformat causes a new UUID
value to be created.
BUT   with PARTUUID=  , the value it has fixed for the life of the partition. 
It, PARTUUID=  is invariant from the time the partition is created. 

In a multi-boot environment, it is a change I manually make to each /etc/fstab. Currently
I am multi-booting Fedora 37 Gnome, 38Gnome, 38KDE, 38Cinnamon to do my own QA on the
presented distros, and also to check how my own software is functioning under the four
mentioned.
Since the new installer is in progress, I would would like to propose that the change be
considered.  

Ben and Matt, I have issues with access. That is why I am using this email response to
propose a future (Fedora 39) change.
By the way, manually changing the fstab entries from UUID= to PARTUUID= 
works flawlessly. If you do not want to incorporate said change, then a simple program to
do it is easy to write and test.  I have such program underway.

Version 5.x contains an an unauthorized not-so-great single-color hackup of
the "classic" logo. Version 6.x contains an authorized rendition of the
legit current logo.

Is 6.x backwards compatible with 5?
