Just speaking for myself: I have Fedora installations on 1G RAM VM
servers that I've been upgrading for many years now, and they just
keep chugging along as of Fedora 35. If I would need to either 1) pay
twice the money per month to keep this setup, or 2) spend a few days
reprovisioning the servers with Fedora CoreOS 36 (assuming it doesn't
suffer from the same problem), then I'd consider neither of these
options a desirable outcome.
There *is* a workaround, BTW - I didn't mention this in my original
mail, and probably should have. At least according to discussion in the
bug, microdnf works OK. So you can use that instead.
