Re: F35 Change: Third-party Software Mechanism (System-Wide Change proposal)

I don’t agree with this change, as it seems obvious that many users who do not want proprietary software installed do not want repositories with proprietary software in them installed either (whether or not these repositories are enabled) and would want to have to opt-in to that too. Additionally, disabled repositories show up from time to time, bugs allowing, so they are not as inactive as the name implies. Not having them installed serves as a safeguard.

Also, users who use some software from the third-party repositories likely *do not* want all of them enabled. The stated benefit of the proposed change (“the removal of the state where the user has opted in to third party repositories but they are not actually enabled”) is not the benefit; the actual benefit that is wanted is an improvement to the user experience that is made easier to provide by installing the repos by default.

That said, the problems here are more on Council than FESCo, and Council already approved this, and people don’t agree with me.
