You don't get proprietary software to work nicely with package
management systems by making it even harder.
Would you mind leaving the 'p' word out of this discussion? The same
principle applies to all software that isn't recompiled and repackaged
between every version, including the user's own and other programs where
source is available but you don't want to have to rebuild (if we did
want to recompile every week we'd be running gentoo...). Pretending
this is specific to proprietary software puts the wrong spin on the
conversation here. The only difference being proprietary makes in this
case is that someone else needs to do this work and probably maintain
specific versions separately for each fedora version instead of every
using doing that himself.
