This is where your argument breaks down. There are third party
repositories that work well with Fedora and third party repositories
that don't work well with Fedora.
So I think the majority of opinions here is that such a service would
not be a big help to Fedora users. And it could be a big headache.
This might be a service that could be done outside of Fedora... but I
think a discussion of that would be a bit offtopic.
And hence I have abandoned all ideas of supporting 3rd party 1 click installs.
I have instead focussed only on official repositories. We can still
add Fedora specific URIs in the package-kit catalog schema. This will
enable one-click-installs for all official Fedora packages with no
security threat at all.
