The headline is wrong. DNF5 (Faster DNF) has been delayed. According to Fedora Magazine
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The beta release of Fedora 39 is now available for testing ahead of its planned stable release prior to the end of October.
Fedora 39 Beta brings many updates over Fedora 38 including a faster DNF, the GNOME 45 desktop for Fedora Workstation, the LibreOffice 7.6 office suite, LLVM 17 compiler stack available, and many other updated packages available.
During my brief testing of the Fedora 39 beta so far it's been working out well.
I'll begin testing Fedora 39 on more systems and benchmarking soon.
I look forward to using Fedora 39 on my main production system when upgrading to the Lenovo ThinkPad P14s Gen4 Phoenix laptop.
More details on the Fedora 39 Beta changes via the release announcement on FedoraMagazine.org.

What's new in Gnome 45?
All the extensions GNOME 44 users installed to make it usable are now broken.
As is tradition.
I have installed only some small extensions, but all of them are working after the update. But I have not much of them installed.
I love Gnome, but as a Gamer, their lack of speed to implement Wayland features is tempting me to switch to KDE.
Which features? I'm not much of a gamer these days, so I'm curious what features are making or breaking the experience.
No VRR on Gnome with Wayland... Maybe there's a way to get it to work but as a newbie I just gave up and installed KDE instead. But GNOME does appeal to me better
No VSYNC.
Wait, actually? Even Sway has had vsync for years.
No, disabling VSYNC is a feature GNOME lacks.
