I didn't mention this in time to even discuss whether it'd make a good
addition to the release notes, but I think users will be happy to see
that Fedora 38 Workstation boots faster and uses less baseline memory
(measured from a session logged in to GNOME with only a terminal
application running to get the output of the "free" command).
