Why is it not possible for one of fedora's goals to be to provide a
clean transition to RHEL or Centos at the end of certain development
cycles, at which point EPEL/Rpmfusion, etc. would be unnecessary as
separate entities since that fedora cycle's repository would be directly
usable as-is and would simply need to be maintained instead of the
various 3rd party versions that have been necessary to fill this void?
You only need people to test this and document what needs to be done, like the
yum upgrade SIG do. They document what is needed to run an upgrade without
using anaconda from one Fedora release to another.
