If you install the pre-release, you are installing F31. When F31 is
released, there will be no difference. The branch of F31 (a week or
two ago) from rawhide is where the difference occurred, and Fedora
policy is to default to the branch rather than to continue following
rawhide. There was some confusion this time because of gating in
rawhide, but not in the branch, but that will likely not occur
again.
dnf system-upgrade is for moving from one release to another, say
F30 to F31. Doesn't apply to the pre-release, because the
transition from pre-release to release is transparent to the user.
i'm confused ... are you saying there will be no difference between
this release:
https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org/compose/branched/latest-Fedora-31/comp...
and the final, official release of f31?
also, since today is the official "beta freeze" day:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Releases/31/Schedule
what does *that* mean in terms of a downloadable ISO?
i'm not *trying* to be confused, i am merely succeeding.
