Fedora 37 as a compatibility library. Because libsoup is a sensitive

hanging around indefinitely, but we are not yet ready to remove it
altogether. We will propose removing libsoup 2 (and all applications
and libraries that still depend on it) for Fedora 39 in a separate
change proposal.
Why are we using a "network-facing HTTP library written in an unsafe
language"? Shouldn't we take this opportunity to move to a safer HTTP
library? Or is libsoup 3 safe(r) than libsoup 2?
