Maps: always use ctrl-f to search · 1e88d8d8a0

Hitting ctrl-f selects all text in the search field, so we can just use it every time. Simpler and more robust. Signed-off-by: Adam Williamson <[email protected]>

Fedora Hummingbird: Taking the Hummingbird model to the full operating system

If it means anything, I had initially assumed this blog post was a mistake (see upthread where I kind of made a fool of myself) since Council usually is transparent with its decision-making and I did not see a public topic about it.

Use image-builder for building ostree installers on F45+ (#542)
