Do we have a good marketing for the fact that we are that "superior"
compared to Debian then?  Sounds like a main thing for for distro comparison

You need people to actually look at stuff that's being uploaded. I don't think there is a key difference between Fedora and Debian as far as this aspect is concerned. D

In addition, Koji likely allows you to create tagged builds which came from SRPMs, so I don't think there is an actually difference here in terms of attack surface (at least not in Fedora's favor).
