/me catches up with thread

I'm not sure if 2(c) is necessary, if we have disabled repo support,
but I don't understand how that works with the upgrade process.  Need
moar clue?

But agreed, this is truly disappointing and doesn't appear that Fedora
is acting like "friends" in the case of a well-maintained and tightly
integrated upstream.  A slavish, single-minded approach to all
upstreams is going to basically force the state (brought up earlier in
the thread) where meaningful future apps all go to COPR.
