--- Comment #58 from Warren Togami <wtogami(a)gmail.com> ---
Yes, I know. But this doesn't automatically mean that Bitcoin
Core developers are right. Ethereum developers have radically different opinion, for
example.
Ethereum has had numerous emergency updates due to catastrophic errors through
the years. Bitcoin has had significantly fewer emergency updates. You call this
a difference of opinion. We call this wisdom.
Let's not go deeper into the ideological debate.
Regarding the bundled library argument I was unfair that I did not respond. I
am well aware of the bundled library reasoning. I am among the people who wrote
Fedora's packaging standards and zealously defended it years ago. There is more
recently an exceptions process where bundled libraries are allowed in Fedora.
Bitcoin Core through the years has been working towards progressively
eliminating external library dependencies because they have been the source of
most dangerous vulnerabilities. That being said the libraries that it continues
to rely upon are carefully tracked by the upstream project.

Fedora now has a process to help keep track of bundled libraries. This package
will follow these guidelines and anything else required by FESCO.
