Can you clarify "part of the distribution" here?  If they aren't part of
the Fedora Distribution, then Fedora suddenly can no longer be a
development platform for these projects.  This is not what we want.

If however you mean not distributed with said project as part of the
tarball, then I leave that discussion to somebody else.
