It's not really on topic here. We test what gets built. Debating what
gets built is over on devel@ . The Change for this was
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/Anaconda_As_Native_Wayland_Application
, which has all the explanation and planning in it. For the installer,
RDP seems like a perfectly good functional replacement for VNC, to me.
It doesn't have the reverse-connection feature, but I think that was
fairly rarely used.
