Also, as a more general speaking, with the upcoming change which will make easier to produce flatpaks directly from RPMs without the need of making modules, we can become more attractive to upstreams, as they will have a single infrastructure for publishing both RPMs and Flatpaks. A bi-directional collaboration with upstream, especially those bigger and fully open source like LO, would be beneficial (I think) for both sides. Can Mindshare (or another Fedora team) see if this is achievable?
