This is why we need a concrete proposal to vote on. Things would have gone much better if we had one.
+1
One of the problems I have with "ban packages with unicode names" is that it doesn't consider what to do when a package name upstream is non-ASCii. My -1 vote is really a vote against having the Fedora packager make up a name for an upstream package which I very strongly oppose. If a proposal were written that told what the packager needs to do to get an acceptable package name I'd likely abstain or (possibly) agree.
