It was a mistake to not leave that in as a user story. I own that. I did that because of the unanimously-adopted[1] Council position that "The Fedora Project wants to advance free and open source software and as a pragmatic matter we recognize that some infrastructure needs may be best served by using closed source or non-free tools today. Therefore the Council is willing to accept closed source or non-free tools in Fedora’s infrastructure where free and open source tools are not viable or not available." You're right that it should have remained in. > One thing I'll note here: this is *exactly* the kind of thing that > would have come to light very quickly if the open process which was > committed to at the start had actually been followed through on.
