This page details why it is was removed:

  https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/RetirePython3.8

Based on the explanation there, it seems doubtful that any of our
targetted build platforms have python 3.8. Thus I'd question whether
we should test 3.8 at all.

IOW, rather than pin to fedora:41, it seems better to drop
python3.8 from the dockerfile.
