Because I think that being upstream and the primary maintainer of a
package in fedora (or any distro) is not a very good idea. If there are
conflict of interest between upstream and the distro (think about name
space, install paths, quality), I think that having a maintainer who is
not the primary upstream maintainer is a good thing. Having upstream
co-maintain, or even do the packaging work is a good idea, but I think
that upstream should not have the last saying for the package.
Well, I would be bothered with stuff like this for some huge packages
(OOo), but I don't think (with all due respect to your utility) one
reasonable guy should IMHO be able to keep two hats on his head. And you
wouldn't be the first one (by far).
