Most definitely. :)

So it's basically the same but without FPC as a gatekeeper?  Do you
have any proposals for enforcement?  A periodic query of Provides
(bundled-foo) and a BZ requesting a review?  Sometime projects
enable unbundling over time.



I don't know that enforcement is strictly necessary. Maintainers that
care will self-enforce. Maintainers that don't care won't be aided by
this.

Are you talking about upstream maintainers of fedora maintainers?

The cause of the majority of cases of bundling is upstream maintainers who violently refuse to comprehend the evilness of bundling and who use bundling because "it's so convenient" to them.

"Enforcement" implies adding more heavy process, which is part of the
problem this is trying to avoid.
You don't seem to be aware about the fact FPC already tries to enforce unbundling. Yes, this is a heavy and time-consuming process, esp. on occasions upstream's behave stubborn and refuse to listen.
