Hm... it's not supposed to be an antagonistic process. We were
expecting it to be more of an "oh, upstream made a Flatpak, that's
better than an RPM, so let's switch to that now."

Certainly we're not going to come along and try to delete packages over
the maintainers' objections. In general, I expect package maintainers
would be deciding whether or not to make the switch, but yeah: if the
upstream developers request that we switch to their Flatpak, I would
hope that package maintainers would be willing to accommodate upstream.
In the unlikely event that upstream gets into conflict with the Fedora
packager over whether to replace the package with a Flatpak (or
upstream-provided RPM), the current plan was for that to be handled on
a case-by-case basis by FESCo. Hopefully such situations would be quite
rare.
