So first I'll say these are interesting articles, and I encourage
people to read them.

I work better when I see some examples of what this would mean in
practice.  Under Fedora.next, how & where would you see the following
being packaged?

 - libvirt

Big, with lots and lots of big dependencies, but for virtualization
it's pretty much the definition of a core, stable API.

 - virt-manager

An application written in Python, and therefore needing to be "above"
the stacks layer, I think?

 - VLC

Free software video player, but with a requirement (or at least can
use if available) proprietary / patented / ugly / semi-legal codecs.
Currently packaged in RPMFusion for reasons I'm not clear on.
