NSS CK_GCM_PARAMS change
Because of changes to the PKCS #11 spec in PKCS #11 v3.0, NSS needs to change the definition of the CK_GCM_PARAMS structure in a source incompatible way. Upstream made this change in NSS 3.52. This change does not affect the ABI. Old programs compiled with older versions of NSS will still work. Only packages that use NSS and directly call AES GCM are affected.

Fedora 34 Accepted Self-Contained Changes
glibc 32 Build Adjustments
The glibc32 package is a special package used by gcc and a few other packages to work around the lack of RPM multilib repository support in Koji. It is difficult to maintain, and the current approach raises questions regarding (L)GPL compliance.

Policy for Modules in Fedora and Fedora ELN
Establish a set of rules for Modular content in Fedora to ensure an optimal user and packager experience. At present, these rules will apply only to Fedora ELN, but are written in such a way as to be reusable for Fedora and EPEL in the future through another Change Proposal.
