Note that the proposal is not about enabling Flathub, only about its filtering. As far as I understand it remains off by default.
But RPMfusion was my first thought , too. We don't even ship the repo definitions, do we, and enabling "third party software" in Gnome software center does not enable RPMfusion. Why not?
My second thought was about packaging. Why should I inverst my free time into rpm packaging, especially unbundling, caring about dependent packages etc. - i.e. evreything which makes a distro a distro - when the preferred "packaging" switches to flatpaks?

Dropping the filter will resolve this criticism."
While we do our packaging work *for* the users, that argument really doesn't convice me. Give them "curl | sudo sh" because it's so simple and provides more applications? Let npm and cargo and pip install right into /usr? Much easier and so many apps! What could go wrong?
