I think Mike was working on the assumption that you were asking for
spins to be allowed to include any packages they like (including ones
that don't meet Fedora's guidelines); I think that wasn't actually so
clear and probably isn't what you meant, but it might be best to
clarify: what exactly do you mean by 'allow the spins to ship the
software they need for their use case', and in what way is this not
currently the case?
