This proposal doesn't really change anything with respect to Fedora
Flatpaks. (Docs for Fedora Flatpaks:
https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/flatpak/)

Are you concerned that there's some implicit threat that if you don't
create a Fedora Flatpak for your Fedora RPM, users will be directed to
the Flathub version? We're really not anticipating overlap between the
set of applications packaged in Fedora and the set included in the
filtered-view of Flathub. Any exceptions to that would definitely have
to be coordinated closely with the relevant package maintainer.
