I actually agree that it makes sense to have a preference for this. We
discussed it in the past but gave up because it required effort. The
current Software Sources page is not designed to allow you to reorder
sources in arbitrary ways. It would be easy to expose a switch for the
current "prefer flatpak vs. prefer RPM setting," but that might not be
powerful enough for what users actually want, e.g. it doesn't allow you
to prefer Fedora flatpak > Fedora RPM > Flathub, or Flathub > Fedora
RPM > Fedora Flatpak. I think this is probably a "help welcome" area.
Of course, users have the final choice when installing.
