- There is a mechanism for users to add their own digest lists, if they want. The change proposal could be a little more clear on how this would work.
There is no way I am going to jump through hoops to whitelist software I compiled myself, or installed from a third-party repository, out of a hardware-enforced vendor lock-in that attempts to deny me Freedom Zero (contradicting the "Freedom" in the "Four F's" of Fedora).
- The proposal calls for a checkbox in Anaconda to enable the feature. (We probably do not actually want a checkbox in Anaconda, though.) It also says "The feature might be enabled later by the user without any change required for the image generation" — which I think is primarily saying that the feature could be turned on without needing to remake the boot image, but which also seems to also say that it's not necessarily on by default.
Hopefully really only *by the user* and not, e.g., by the upgrade to a newer Fedora release.
But even off by default, I do not see how the "feature" implemented by this Change provides any value at all that does not contradict the very definition of Free Software.
