Hmm.
What if Fedora flatpaks was organized more like EPEL. Would that make sense from your perspective as an institutional downstream? I’m trying to figure out how we refactor how the work gets done to make a space exactly for these interests. We need to figure out how to repartition the work in a way that gets people interested in contributing.
I want to be clear, even if we get to a better footing with the general purpose user and we can get the illfated changeproposal reproposed again for F44 (I had a good conversation last week with a FESCO member about that in fact) there’s nothing seriously in play about shutting the fedora flatpaks down. We need to restructure it, and find a way to make peace with the squishy and evolving trademark norms as they intsect with understood copyright norms.
As an institutional downstream user are comfortable having to make a tunable edit that disables the proposed filtering and lets you enable fedora flatpaks by default for your derived OS? Because that feels like a reasonable future to me.
