Isn't this a workaround for the FPC decision? It kinda means thousands of users are going to have problems upgrading to F23, and have to click a little button to enable a 3rd party copr (which can do pretty much anything to your system...) which will mean very little to most people.
Can't someone just tell the FPC they got it wrong in this case? FPC is not a useful thing if we're promoting workarounds for our default product.
FESCo didn't want to overrule FPC on this (in part because none of us had followed it too closely). That said, I'm raising a discussion to change the policy rather than work around it. See the devel@ list and feel free to voice support or disagreement.
