Of key importance here is to understand that the Fedora community ought to
decide on what they would like the Clamav packages to look like. That will
require more than just posting complaints in several places of this world.
It requires volunteers to work on creating add-on packages or on changing
the packaging fundamentally. It's not as if the packaging were wrong. But
it has turnt out that the user community simply doesn't get accustomed to
the package design (and e.g. its special security considerations and setup
procedure).
