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.
It is, and this why I disagree with the rest of FESCo on this.
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 could have overruled the FPC, but they chose not to [1].

[1] Since I was the only one in FESCo opposing this decision, I chose to
use "they" to refer to the committee, instead of "we".
