In other words, the initial concern was keeping _Fedora_ from bundling things, not with keeping upstreams from doing it (or even rejecting upstreams that did). I think that's probably because that practice upstream was much more rare back then — it just wasn't a big issue, and it probably seemed reasonable that we _could_ influence the weird cases where it did happen. > Does this make sense to folks?
