I appreciate the work that will go into making sure that software
provided by Fedora will always take priority over third-party
flatpaks, thank you for working on that.

Also, given that it is now apparently considered "allowed" to enable
unfiltered flathub with the "Enable third-party repositories" switch,
I wonder if that reasoning also applies to the  equivalent situation
for RPMFusion repos? The "Enable third-party repositories" switch only
enables "filtered" repos (containing only RPMs for proprietary NVidia
drivers and the Steam client), so following the same reasoning, it
should now be possible to enable "unfiltered" RPMFusion repos with
that switch instead, as well?
