In fact, I would say that's one of the things that makes the Fedora
infrastructure so exceptional. It does not try to fit everything into a
grand vision...I've seen those efforts, and they always fail because they
are too rigid. The best infrastructures are the ones that dance with the
system (and thus get the most support from all interested parties). There
is absolutely room for cues to suggest how things should go (like making
sure all bits can be packaged), but it ends up feeling very natural
and...it just works.
