DNF/RPM Copy on Write enablement for all variants
RPM Copy on Write provides a better experience for Fedora Users as it reduces the amount of I/O and offsets CPU cost of package decompression. RPM Copy on Write uses reflinking capabilities in btrfs, which is the default filesystem starting from Fedora 33 for most variants. Note that this behavior is not being turned on by default for this Change.

Python Dist RPM provides to only provide PEP503-normalized names
The legacy python3dist(NAME) and python3.11dist(NAME) RPM provides with dots (.) in NAME will no longer be automatically provided. NAME will only be normalized according to PEP 503. E.g. on Fedora 36 a package provides both python3dist(ruamel-yaml) and python3dist(ruamel.yaml), on Fedora 37+ it will only provide python3dist(ruamel-yaml) (and similarly, python3.11dist(ruamel-yaml)).
