The right solution if you have such a mess is to build RPMs of the software,
and if possible, to get them into Fedora proper. That is what we need to
spend our time on, not on adding yet another competing technology to this
mess, which will only make it worse.

I don't agree at all that this battle is already lost. I have a lot of
software on my systems and almost all of it is from RPMs. That's how I can
manage it. Non-RPM software is always a PITA.
