Did I request somewhere to *drop* unbundling?
I'm more concerned by the current habit to let bundled libraries sneak
in the repositories without being properly tracked rather than a
non-existing one.
a) We don't have any such tracking system.
b) So far, this has not been a problem.
In the past, this these issues were commonly worked around by Fedora
maintainers forking in private and them feeding them into Fedora as set
of patches.
Our role is mitigate bad habits and educate upstream, not ignoring
them.
Right, but you're underestimating the stubbornness and
non-cooperativeness of some upstream and fedora maintainer.
They usually believe to have an "ultra-clever design" and the FPC to be
dumb idiots who are unable to comprehend their cleverness.
