a recent kernel update of Fedora rawhide kernel 6.11 labelled as rc3 lists the fedora version of said update (from kernel 6.11 rc2 fedora v. 41) as Fedora 42. Update was downloaded on or around august 15, 2024.
yes, this is completely expected. ;) We have branched f41 off rawhide and now rawhide is moving on to f42.
See:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/branched/ and https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/releases/rawhide/ (the q&a there explains how to switch to branched or stable releases).
Hope that helps!

thank you, that clarifies.
here is a logistical question as it is not very determinant after reading those releases as to what fedora latest release now is.
Here's what it seems:
After fedora 40 was released as production, fedora 41 began development. fedora 41 development was named "rawhide" however, fedora rawhide is going to be released as fedora 42?
Does this mean no fedora 41 release is expected anymore?

I hope this answers your question:
The development on Fedora 41 started way before Fedora 40 was released. The event that you are looking for is called "mass branching" and it's usually happening few months before the beta release. Fedora 41 branch is created from rawhide branch and rawhide is now Fedora 42. You can already see the Fedora 41 branch in dist-git repositories.
Here is the whole schedule for Fedora 41.
