Well of course making systems work better on metered connections is
worth working on.

2. Do you think the general approach from the mentioned repository[1],
is the right one, or would you suggest something completely different?
Whether this is a good general approach, I'm not sure. It will only
work for services that are systemd units, right? Maybe that's
sufficient, since if users don't want apps using up bandwidth, they can
simply not open those apps.
I guess it could be a good way to totally disable a service when a
metered connection is active. What services would you use it with?
Given that the goal is to improve the out-of-the-box experience, we
would need a list of systemd services to modify. I guess we should make
such changes upstream (as usual), which might produce discussions about
using NetworkManager to detect unmetered connections instead.
3. What level of implementation should this change have to be
suggested
for Fedora 3X to become a thing? I.e. should I propose it for the next
version already or should I work with it first and propose it in 6-8
months?
If you have a concrete plan, you can propose it now, of course. But
this sounds like a hazy plan. :)
