    Then why create overlap?


Because moving things into Fedora is a good thing for Fedora.

I've never considered being tied to a single provider to be good for anyone. And certainly not when that provider imposes policies that fragment and can only deliver parts of what would otherwise be easily available elsewhere.

Look, I'm not going to waste my time trying to convince you of anything as you've established yourself as quite the Ferrous Cranius:

Being 'right' isn't quite the point here. It's more a question of whether fedora can ever be a reasonable platform for someone who wants to install items that don't come from the fedora repository and almost certainly never will.
