We're also planning to remove Fedora packages for selected

(hypothetical) Inkscape were to offer a Flatpak download on their web

Fedora package and display their Flatpak in GNOME Software instead; the
goal here is to reduce friction between upstream and downstream that
people complain about so often, while ensuring it's still very easy to
find and install software that runs reliably on Fedora.

This is a slight tangent, but by "remove Fedora packages", do you mean actually remove them from the distribution entirely or simply not show the packaged version in e.g. GNOME Software in favor of the upstream Flatpak? The latter makes sense to me, the former seems potentially controversial.
