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

Debian packager, right?

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).

Do you mean that this is allowed by policy or that this is "implemented"?

I don't think Koji implements the necessary build provenience checks to
implement a different policy.

I'm wrong, Koji handles this.  Thanks to Kevin for point this out to me.
