Will this affect Fedora or other red hat universe distros?

It wouldn't really surprise me if Fedora followed suite soon, but I have no specific information about that. Hopefully OpenSUSE Tumbleweed keeps X, I haven't heard any indication to the contrary.

I'm not entirely sure, but I'm under the impression that my tumbleweed installation lost X11 months ago and is Wayland only now.

X is still in Tumbleweed, maybe it's not the default anymore but it's still here.

Fedora defaulted to Wayland quite a while ago. But Fedora doesn’t necessarily always follow Red Hat. RHEL deprecated and removed btrfs support, while Fedora now uses it by default.

Was deprecated in 7 and removed in 8.
