I had to look 6 times till I saw the difference between the you’d and
you'd :)

Does anybody know what (which package upgrade) exactly caused this? And
what is "correct" in this case?

Maybe we should just spell it out?
"In the scenario above, you would type..."

Currently the snapshots are build using fedora-latest, which indeed
just switched to Fedora 40. We could use a distro that updates less
frequently, like debian-stable, if we don't want to be bothered by
these faster moving distros.
