Fedora Workstation and Third-Party Repositories

[David Benoit <dbenoit@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

Regarding the inclusion of the fedora-workstation-repositories package in F28, is there currently a policy in place against including it as a dependency? From what I understand from the recent fedora magazine article and the policy wiki page, the purpose of distributing the third-party repositories an rpm is to ensure that a user must enable them explicitly.

Is there some some preventative measure in place to protect users from the package being pulled in silently as a dependency? If repository-enabling rpms are to become acceptable cases for package submissions, what considerations are being taken to ensure such submissions are tracked and handled similarly?

Apologies if this has been addressed before, but I haven't been able to find any documentation on the subject.

Thanks,

DB
