+# If we are upgrading from a system with two fedora-release-$EDITION packages
+# on it, if DNF upgrade decides to keep the drop that doesn't match
+# /usr/lib/variant, it will forcibly create a /usr/lib/os-release symlink
+# after the new upgraded package is installed, resulting in an unbootable
+# system. As a hack, we'll assume ownership of /usr/lib/variant and set it to
+# a nonexistent edition name, to ensure that no symlink gets created.
+# This hack and this file can be dropped in Fedora 32, since we don't support
+# upgrades from Fedora N-3.
