This is a bad example IMO. We are not set up to handle coprs that
include essential system packages. If you try to remove the gnome-
3.12 copr with gnome-software, it just uninstalls your desktop
environment and leaves you with a broken computer.
Good point. I forgot to account for the lack of a way to back out of
it when I listed that.
Installing a single application that's not in Fedora from a copr
is
one thing, or a newer version of an application, but not if they are
core system packages.
