(Then I suppose the real question is whether we should be doing this
now at all... but under the model that most packages don't actually
need to be touched for the few people who care to benefit, I can't see
a reason to say no.)

That's not really what Fedora.next is about AFAICT, and separately
from that not all that reasonable either; upstream language
communities have their different ways of doing things and the language
SIGs are constantly at risk of isolating themselves and their
practices from the rest of the distribution.
In fact I'd (as a purely personal opinion) very prefer the Env/Stacks
WG to set up _cross-language_ mechanisms for language and middleware
runtimes, that are administered, packaged and behave substantially
equally for all of them.
