It's very disappointing that this isn't considered a feature, largely
(so it seems from the IRC log) because the target audience is
considered "very limited".
Although provers are used only by a few experts to check that software
is correct, the benefits of using formally checked software
(functions, data structures, libraries, etc.) accrue to all users of
that software.
I hope that David & others working on this don't get discouraged and
this work continues, perhaps as a Fedora SIG.
