And on the subject of a wiki page with available 3rd party
repositories, it certainly should only contain repos that are
*designed* to be add-on repos over FC and FE, in that order.
If they are listed officially as "compatible with Fedora", what makes them
"less official" than Extras? Better fold the packages into Extras, and be
done with it. Unless they ship packages that Fedora can't/won't ship... in
which case Fedora could end up in legal hot water for telling people how to
break the law/go against the licenses (or at least end up in a very
unconfortable position wrt its own guidelines).
I think there's a little bit of taboo and FUD going on here. If you
explain the issues at hand clearly (scope of software patents, open vs
close source, etc...), I don't see why mentioning 3rd-party repos should
be problematic. I mean, those repos don't distribute illegal copyrighted
movies or something :-)
