As I said already, there has several workarounds suggested by me and
other people. Fedora is a community supported distribution. If you are
merely a consumer, you get to live with what the project provides or
choose a alternative that better suits what you need.
When people step up to be contributions, they can work with the project
to bring in those applications and integrate it with the Fedora
repository and/or work with the third party repositories on other
potential solutions. What you can't do is badge into a development list
of a community project and demand things be changed for free according
to your convenience. Well you can. People will just ignore that.
