You did this by waiving a large number of test failures:

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/FEDORA-2026-025b0b5436#comment-4515534

This was not appropriate. Waivers should not be used for this purpose.
Waiving openQA failures in particular is not advisable. Look at the
flood of red here:

https://openqa.fedoraproject.org/group_overview/2?limit_builds=100

and the growing queue of builds stuck in failed gating state here:

https://bodhi.fedoraproject.org/updates/?gating=failed&release=F44

when you waive an openQA failure that is caused by your update, the
failure cascades to *every subsequent update*, and all those updates
are gated. All Rawhide updates that are on the KDE or GNOME critical
path are now failing tests and being gated because of the broken
dependencies introduced by this update.

Please don't do this again.

Treating a few leaf packages as unimportant breakage is one thing, but
ignoring that you broke the dependencies of packages in *both* of our
release blocking desktops is quite a different thing.

Please do not land updates until at least all dependencies in release-
blocking package sets are fixed.
