Comment (by sparks):
This has already [http://meetbot.fedoraproject.org/fedora-
meeting-1/2014-01-23/fedora_board.2014-01-23-19.01.html been decided]
during a meeting back in January. Specifically "The board believes that
shipping repository metadata that points at non-free software is
incompatible with Fedora's foundations".
GNOME is doing exactly this, now. There is metadata being shipped in
Fedora that points users to non-free software (software, that is in this
case SaaS). This is not an opt-in solution and best I can tell there is
no way to opt-out (I've not tried to remove the metadata file so I don't
know if that would break functionality).
