Some will say that it really goes against the whole Unix spirit In particular, this would go against the OpenSource spirit and thus contradict Fedora's objectives.
I don't understand the connection you are making, there. Can you elaborate?
To build everything from source yourself and not to package other parties binaries, is one of the foundations of an open source distro, such as Fedora.
Okay.
What your are trying to achieve is to abandon this and to allow foreign binaries in Fedora.
There are at least two things to untangle from that statement.
First, "foreign binaries" are already allowed to run on Fedora. I certainly don't think we should break that.
But that's not my interest *here*. Here, I am talking about how we build and ship *Fedora-built* binaries. My goal is to expand that, not, somehow, the opposite.
