Exactly. Let's ship binary drivers.
I know that's something of a straw man, but my point is that we must
have some principles, and must work with upstreams to attempt to get
them to at least understand those principles. And we shouldn't give
up
on that just because someone wants some program which is easily
provided
by a copr anyway.
Binary drivers are a different problem. We don't ship those because
there are *legal* concerns preventing it. We've got plenty of stuff in
COPRs right now that are not in Fedora proper *solely* because of
bundling policies and not because of any hard-line external reason.
