Ok.  So you should not remove this site-start.el.  It is related to how
Fedora install its package with Emacs code in it.

Now, we can go one step further.  What that the above code does is to
load each and every ".el" and ".elc" file located in the directory
"/usr/share/emacs/site-lisp/site-start.d"

So now, you have to look what those files are.  Most probably, it is
code from other Fedora packages.  Maybe one of those package was not
updated correctly, not tested correctly with Emacs 29,... I don't know.
