+ The named Fedora flavors are identified in part by a set of packages with
configuration details and dependencies specific to that flavor. For example, the presence
of <package>fedora-release-server</package> identifies a system as Fedora
Server, and ensures that core features like <application>Cockpit</application>
are present.

+ Update or installation operations may involve the
<package>fedora-release</package> packages, sometimes inadvertently due to the

conflicts, such as installing extra desktops on Fedora Workstation.
