Unfortunately, Gitlab’s roadmap is also conflicting with Fedora objectives. The bread and butter of Gitlab is intermediating between devs and end users, culling free software intermediaries like distributions, and positionning itself in their stead. That is unlikely to result in any commitment to making distribution workflows work. That would not be a problem if the disintermediation worked, but like many actors Gitlab sees the $$$ and power in being the desintermediator, and does not care if the result is deffective, as long as $$$ and power flows its way. At heart, Fedora is a tooling project. It’s a collective of people that chose to use a specific integration toolchain. Anything involved in creating Fedora packages cuts deep into the project core. (unlike, say, calendaring). It’s easy to forget this when making tooling decisions, because it is so pervasive, most do not see it anymore. Tooling is anything but accessory to the project.
