This is incorrect. Some alt coins like PPC suffered exactly a catastrophic fork
because they disregarded warnings in this regard.

The diversity argument is counter to the opinion of among Bitcoin Core
developers. Debating the diversity of implementations issue is not productive
here. I ask that folks please defer to upstream Bitcoin Core developer opinions
on the wisdom and safety of how to ship Bitcoin Core in downstream
distributions.

Upstream did not have a feasible build method until recently. I am sorry this
took so long. I also recognize this is extremely weird compared to the normal
way software is built in Fedora. The upstream developers felt so strong about
this that it was preferable to have no Bitcoin in the leading Linux distros all
these years. Now however we are close to a satisfactory solution. I ask for a
bit more patience.
