Perhaps Livna should have some kind of "Make everything work"
meta-package. Include the macromedia repo in its release package too.
I've had good success telling people in #fedora how to get nvidia's
drivers with just two commands. Its simply not that hard. The problem is
education. And of course Red Hat forbids itself from even mentioning
Livna...
Livna provides things which are legal in the country that Livna resides
in. If it is illegal in the country that Livna exists in, Livna will
not ship it. So the entire 'make it work' stack may not be hostable by
Livna.
Fedora by design wants to make it work using FOSS, free and opensource
software. Anything beyond that is beyond the stated goals of the Fedora
Project.
