This is a feature release of nmon, and hence does not belong as an update to a stable version of Fedora. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Updates_Policy/#stable-releases

BZ#2235618 nmon-16p is available
BZ#2148461 Add perl-CPAN-02Packages-Search to EPEL 9
BZ#2144904 perl-App-cpm for EPEL 9

Dependency perl-Carton hasn't been built for EPEL 9, yet.

Final freeze for F36 is Tuesday, so this is too late.

This update introduces a new shell alias vi ->vim if vim is not installed. This broke my .tcshrc, since I can no-longer use the status of which vim to detect whether vim is installed.

Changes of this nature do not belong in a stable release. https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy#Stable_Releases

This is a major update and does not belong in a stable Fedora release. https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/fesco/Updates_Policy/#stable-releases

There are many incompatible changes, and it's not fair to users to suddenly drop this on them without warning.

This issue is resolved in RHEL 7, so I think this update can be closed?

As keen as I may personally be to get hold of the latest Emacs, I don’t think it’s fair to unsuspecting users to have dropped it on them mid-release like this. https://github.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/blob/master/etc/NEWS.26 describes 200 lines of incompatible changes from the previous version.

A Copr might have been a better place for the latest Emacs. Please consider https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Updates_Policy in future.
