I don't see why projects on pagure.io need to require FPCA. It's
perfectly possible to create a FAS account and not sign the FPCA. And
pagure.io has several projects that are independent of Fedora itself,
so it would be really dumb to force that. Now, if projects under a
"Fedora" namespace on pagure.io want to do that, that's up to them.
But I definitely do not want to see FPCA enforced globally on
pagure.io.

As an aside, Fedora and non-Fedora things are jumbled up in pagure.io,
and someone should really sort that out...
