===[[Changes/Unify bin and sbin | Unify /usr/bin and /usr/sbin]]===
The /usr/sbin directory becomes a symlink to bin, which means paths like /usr/bin/foo and /usr/sbin/foo point to the same place. /bin and /sbin are already symlinks to usr/bin and usr/sbin, so effectively /bin/foo and /sbin/foo also point to the same place. /usr/sbin will be removed from the default $PATH. The same change is also done to make /usr/local/sbin point to bin, effectively making /usr/local/bin/foo and /usr/local/sbin/foo point to the same place. The definition of %_sbindir will be changed to %_bindir, so packages will start using the new directory after a rebuild without any further action. Maintainers may stop using %_sbindir, but don't need to.

===[[Changes/FedoraSilverblueBootupd | Enable bootupd for Fedora Atomic Desktops and Fedora IoT]]===
By design, ostree does not manage bootloader updates as they can not (yet) happen in a safe fashion. To solve this issue, bootupd (https://github.com/coreos/bootupd) was created. bootupd is a small socket activated program that takes care of updating the bootloader. It currently only supports EFI booted systems and rpm-ostree based systems. The updates are triggered by an administrator and are not (yet) automated for safety reasons. This change is about enabling bootupd integration in Fedora Atomic Desktops and Fedora IoT to make bootloader updates easier. bootupd is already used in Fedora CoreOS.

Upgrade systems to createrepo_c 1.0 and change repositories metadata settings

This is a proposal for upgrading systems which produce composes to createrepo_c > 1.0 and changing some options used to create Fedora repositories metadata. Note that some of these changes are inevitable due to createrepo_c >= 1.0 behavioral change. We aim to change both Rawhide/F41, then move all following releases to the new settings, while preserving most of the current settings for releases <= 40.

Python built with gcc -O3

Instead of Fedora's default -O2 compiler flag, we will use -O3 to build CPython. This only impacts the interpreter and Python standard library, not any 3rd party extension modules built as RPM or on developer machines. This aligns with the way Python is built upstream. According to our performance measurements, it makes Python significantly faster (pyperformance geometric mean: 1.04x faster).
