Not that many Fedora survex users SFAIK, so probably not yet.
I just had a look and it seems that F35 is on proj 8.2.
https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/proj/commits/f35
Althogh my 'all ditrso overview' shows 8.0 in fc35: http://sandpiper.linaro.org/upstreamproject/details/proj
(libproj19 comes from proj v7, libproj22 comes from proj v8)

So I'm not sure if that means they removed proj7 (I'm failing to find
fedora's 'our package list' pages).

Survex works with proj8 now (and is in debian), so if you just rebuild
it in fedora it should pick up the new proj and work. It looks like the
one in the archive is built against proj 7 but proj7 is no longer
available? I'm not sure how the fedora machinery works here.
