LGTM.

Note: the reason for this (ugly) manual filling of env is that we do
not use GHA support of containers.
At the time I added fedora containers, I had multiple occasions when
pulling the images resulted in failures (getting throttled).

Maybe things got better since then... I see OVS does use GHA support.
Any volunteer to reevaluate this?
