Cockpit 317 switched to DynamicUser= in [1], so this has been obsolete
for a while. This also never created cockpit-wsinstance and nobody
complained (which is now also not a thing any more since version 330 [2]).

I'm not sure to what degree you support building without fedora-41-updates -- if not, this should also go into the f41 branch.

Build failed. More information on how to proceed and troubleshoot errors available at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Zuul-based-ci

The non-synced packages in https://fedora.softwarefactory-project.io/zuul/build/d73ae5789c294496a1d21bcecd3a7dc9 are certainly unrelated?

They are indeed unrelated. I've made https://pagure.io/workstation-ostree-config/pull-request/598 for those.

Unfortunately, it's unlikely that we'll be able to remove those entries for now as this could shift the UIDs used by other passwd/group entries for users.

See the ongoing discussions in:
- https://gitlab.com/fedora/bootc/tracker/-/issues/31
- https://gitlab.com/fedora/bootc/base-images/-/merge_requests/66
- https://github.com/coreos/fedora-coreos-tracker/issues/155
- https://github.com/containers/bootc/issues/673

Thus while I agree that it is obsolete, is it causing any harm?

Not really harm, I just spotted it and thought it'd be good to clean up.

We might be able to do this in the end. See: https://gitlab.com/fedora/ostree/sig/-/issues/81

We'll likely do a cleanup pass for our UIDs/GIDs soon: https://gitlab.com/fedora/ostree/sig/-/issues/90
