Cockpit offers a new module, the Cockpit Navigator, a file system browser. This offers especially for new server users a comfortable, graphical way to explore the server and eases the getting started with the server. Including it in the standard installation makes the server more attractive for new users.
Cockpit is configured in comps-f39.xml.in, group headless-management. Group headless-management is used by fedora-disk-server.ks and fedora-server-vm-full.ks only. I didn't find it in any other Kickstart file. So no other installation media is affected by a change.
We have to add a line: <packagereq type="default">cockpit-navigator</packagereq> to the headless-management group.
I think, we just have to create a PR accordningly. A change request should not be required for this.

New information from Martin Pitt, Cockpit Project: "Note that this project is in a very bad shape. It lacks important features such as updating the UI when the file system changes, has zero integration tests, uses a totally outdated UI which doesn't fit into the rest of the PatternFly 4/5 Cockpit world, and uses strange ways to communicate with the OS. It also hasn't gotten any significant updates in 1.5 years (just some minimal "keep it alive" maintenance)."
There is a "Google summer of code" project to fix that. So we will postpone this to Fedora 40.
Cockpit now includes module
cockpit-navigator.noarch : A File System Browser for Cockpit
so we could start to make it part of the default Server installation.
