The past does not dictate the future even assuming this claim is true. The reality is that we are hardly going to get a fairly small percentage of free and open source apps in the Fedora repository assuming that we are wildly successful and in reality, ABI breakages are going to cause problems for many of our users including users with internal applications. If someone refuses to accept this reality and want to live in the ideal world where everything is packaged and available in some repo, their solutions are not going to work out well. Acknowledging that we can do better would be a good first step. I am not saying that, ABI breakages should be avoided at all cost (that holds true for EL as well) but we can make avoid some of more gratuitous ones atleast.
