If the 3 year cadence for major RHEL releases is still on track, Fedora 40 should be the basis for RHEL 10.

This the semi-publicly disclosed plan. It is also part of the reason why dnf5 has been delayed until at least f41. I have mixed feelings about delaying updates in fedora to reduce the changes needed in rhel. On one hand, this will reduce the velocity of fedora. On the other, it means that rhel will end being up closer to a specific fedora release.

The delay to dnf5 is down to it not working well enough yet for Fedora, I see no push back from Redhat here.

You can see the discussion on the fedora dev mailimg lisy, sorry I don’t have a link to the archive.
