The code vs content old debate is totally misguided IMHO. We want more

And the only way to get more free <stuff> (short of buying it to
re-license it) is to ship it to reward people who create it with some
public exposure. I would welcome a collection of music in the
appropriate license and the appropriate formats¹.
I wouldn't. IMO Fedora is about software. Free /content/ should be
hosted on repositories that are set up for that purpose, similar to
wikimedia commons, in a way that makes it accessible to /all/ distros.
If Fedora wants to ship tools to integrate such repositories more
closely with Fedora, or to contribute to building such a repository, I
would support that effort, but I don't think it should be done in the
same repository as our software.
At the very least, yum/PK is not the right tool for browsing such a
repository.
