Yes, I completely agree. What Gregory tries to emphasis here - as I
understand it, of course he might have a different intention - is purely
politics and I do not think, that Fedora should involve in political
decisions in one way or another.

If the feature conforms to Fedora legal requirements and the developers
of the affected packages are OK with integrating necessary patches, it
should be allowed.
