Instead of updating Fedora version branch frequently we should rely on
aliases to automate this and reduce human error factor.

As of this commit fedora-all resolves to

  • fedora-42
  • fedora-43
  • fedora-44
  • fedora-rawhide

With fedora-branched it resolves to

  • fedora-42
  • fedora-43
  • fedora-44

We don't want to release and test to Fedora 42 as it is almost EOL.

Almost doesn't mean it is though. We'll only have 3 branches for smaller periods. What's stopping us from just following the stable branches until 42 is EOL?

This seems fine, when I asked in #packit they said it should ignore say fedora-42 when we don't have a dist-git pull request for it.
