Okay, so from what I understand thus far then:
1) If I upgrade to F23, I will either be left with F22 darktable and get
confused/frustrated when I try to upgrade it (eg when a new feature comes
out tha tI want,) or I will be left with a system that I cannot upgrade at
all (still an open question as to how obvious the workaround of removing
darktable would be?)
2) The Design Suite is going to either (a) drop darktable (b) be dropped
itself (c) massively overhauled to become a Fedora Remix.
3) Still don't understand the F23 experience of installing darktable.
In terms of user experience, this simply sucks and makes me feel like
slavish adherence to obscure packaging rules is more important than our user
base.
/me catches up with thread
I'm not sure if 2(c) is necessary, if we have disabled repo support,
but I don't understand how that works with the upgrade process. Need
moar clue?
But agreed, this is truly disappointing and doesn't appear that Fedora
is acting like "friends" in the case of a well-maintained and tightly
integrated upstream. A slavish, single-minded approach to all
upstreams is going to basically force the state (brought up earlier in
the thread) where meaningful future apps all go to COPR.
