Ha, Debian and Fedora, the distributions, are imo not that different
after a standard install (but yes, there are differences as well -
patents strategy, Firmware). But yes, you are right, the Debian project
has a a official non-free repository, which is a significant difference
to the Fedora project. One that leads to a better user experience;
something that afics a lot of Fedora users and some Fedoraproject
developers want to see as well.
Let's avoid personal examples. I also know many users and Fedora contributors
that respect Fedora's foundations and would probably leave Fedora if these were to
change.
That's why I think it would be good if
the the Fedora project might help/guide in that are, even if the
resulting repo and the main work is done outside of the Fedora project.
I agree with guidance. I don't think anyone would object to help them,
so that *they* can ship their software for Fedora in a more UX friendly way.
