Hmmm, interesting. I don't see anything in the repo with requires or
recommends that package....

Just for fun I double checked and did fresh install
[root@gaia ~]# cat /etc/system-release
Fedora release 34 (Thirty Four)
[root@gaia ~]# rpm -qa | grep nano
nano-5.8-3.fc34.x86_64
nano-default-editor-5.8-3.fc34.noarch
[root@gaia ~]# rpm -qa | grep default-editor
nano-default-editor-5.8-3.fc34.noarch
default-editor-5.8-3.fc34.noarch
[root@gaia ~]# dnf info default-editor-5.8-3.fc34.noarch

[pb@zbox ~]$ cat /etc/system-release
Fedora release 35 (Thirty Five)
[pb@zbox ~]$ rpm -qa | grep nano
[pb@zbox ~]$
[pb@zbox ~]$ rpm -qa | grep default-editor
vim-default-editor-8.2.3404-1.fc35.noarch

So, in F34 there was a default-nano-editor.
In F35 no default-nano-editor at all, instead a default-vim-editor that was not present in
F34.
I don’t want to complain, in contrary, I appreciate that.
There must be a good soul in the Fedora universe who takes pity on server administrators.
