What's the point of making things worse for your users?
Repository conflicts have always existed. As long as there is more than
one repository that is not perfectly complimentary, that is just a fact
of life. We just learn to work with it in a way we can.
But the way we work around that problem is to not use the one that
conflicts. I think you are suggesting not using fedora unless you
provide a straightforward exclusion method for the conflicting packages.
is that really what you want people to do?
If that doesn't
suit you, do your own thing instead. Good luck.
Everyone doing their own thing is the problem here. Encouraging it is
absolutely the wrong thing.
