I don't have a strong opinion either way, but if I was implementing it,
I'd follow the following steps:

     1. Push qtractor-freeworld into RPM Fusion and have it obsolete
        qtractor
     2. Finish getting qtractor reviewed in Fedora
     3. A week or two after (1) happens (and *before* qtractor gets
        pushed to testing in Fedora), remove the obsoletes from
        qtractor-freeworld
     4. Build qtractor in Fedora

The advantage of this process is that most RPM Fusion qtractor users get
qtractor-freeworld automatically (and the longer the obsoletes is left
in, the more RPM Fusion users get qtractor-freeworld).
