There is no way I am going to jump through hoops to whitelist software I 
compiled myself, or installed from a third-party repository, out of a 
hardware-enforced vendor lock-in that attempts to deny me Freedom Zero 
(contradicting the "Freedom" in the "Four F's" of Fedora).

Hopefully really only *by the user* and not, e.g., by the upgrade to a newer 
Fedora release.

But even off by default, I do not see how the "feature" implemented by this 
Change provides any value at all that does not contradict the very 
definition of Free Software.
