a) Is 'use-package' available for Fedora from a trustworthy source? (I avoid Emacs' own package management, since the last time I checked, it was a security nightmare.)
Which one? https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/UsePackage
I'm guessing it's the latter, since the former is explicitly not a
package manager, but I'm not sure what makes you think this extension is
more secure than Emacs' package management. It fetches a file from a
URL, unpacks it, and installs it. There's no signature checking or
anything.
If that's trustworthy, then so is "wget
https://www.emacswiki.org/emacs/download/use-package.el";
