yeah, we have usually waited pretty late to confirm that a Xfce release
is actually going to happen before filing a change and landing anything
in rawhide. We don't want to land a set of devel releases and then have
them go into the next stable release.

That said, yeah, it looks pretty good for a december release for 4.20,
so I think it's probibly good to file a Change and start lining things
up. Mukundan: you good with that? you want to file the change?
I'm happy to help.

As far as xfce4-dev-tools, I don't think anything in the core Xfce set
has any dep there anymore, but other things do:

➜ ~ fedrq wr xfce4-dev-tools| sort
libxfce4windowing-4.19.3^git20240317.0a487d7-2.fc41.src
lightdm-gtk-2.0.8-10.fc41.src
mousepad-0.6.3-1.fc42.src
xfce4-statusnotifier-plugin-0.2.2-11.fc41.src
xfce-theme-manager-0.3.9-3.fc41.src
xfdashboard-1.0.0-6.fc41.src

If those other things are ok moving to the new dev-tools, I guess we
could do it in rawhide anytime?
