This only fixes 35, not 36 right?

pjones spoke to that in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1955416#c88:

> f35, f36, and rawhide eventually all need the same build, so test with the one above, and I'll work with rel-eng on tagging when it's okay to do so.

Since this update is now stable, I imagine it will shortly be okay to do so if it's not already.
