That's not insignificant. If there really are that much of people who will contribute to Fedora if they can remove flags they dislike from Fedora, why don't they do the work required for this, i.e. writing patches, adding support for this to rpm and yum, ...? But I also doubt that people who would not use Fedora because some included software uses a flag they hate are people one can work in a FOSS-oriented or cooperative way with. So maybe this is also the reason for this. Regards Till
