It doesn't make it automatically more attractive, but from the feedback I've gotten so far, the general idea _does_ make it more attractive overall. And, it gives us in general and the SIGs in specific a better place from which to engage in conversation. And, if the answer is that Fedora ends up being a great place to install the upstream version in the way upstream documents, is that really a problem?
