I could live with that as a description. However part of the question at
issue is what invocations of fedup should exist to get the result the
user wants, so a more compact form is needed. That's why I proposed a
way of doing that earlier in the thread.
do we really need any of it for fedup? I would think people use fedup to
upgrade, not to switch to a different product.
Why would a gnome user want to type "fedup --product=workstation" instead
of "fedup --product=nonproduct" - other than because of the misleading
commandline options?
Similar for KDE users if there would be product=KDE ?
