Rest of Fedora community, what do you think and how do you feel about
all this?
Well, I'm very much in the "rest of Fedora community" camp, but I did have
one thought when reading this that does not seem to have been discussed
yet, so I figured I'd mention it:
I'm somewhat curious how this would interact with user-added third party
repositories with packages that provide GNOME Software metadata. For
example, if I enabled RPM Fusion on my system, and there are RPM Fusion
packages with Gnome Software metadata, how are they listed when I search
for them? Especially if a third-party repo *I* add to my system provides
an application that's also being added through this potential procedure
and tagged as third-party or non-free, what happens?
I get that we don't officially endorse projects like RPM Fusion, of
course, but I would wager many desktop Fedora users install packages from
either it or a competing project, so it might be something important to
think about?
