Um. This seems a little over-dramatic.
If another vendor like Ubuntu or Docker were to do this kind of
surprise
filtering of apps, Fedora would attack it and write long blogs taking a
stance on user choice and against vendors using their influence to spread
vertical monopolies. But I guess it's OK if Fedora does it?
The policy is there for a reason -- we can't include arbitary software in
pre-configured repositories. This is a way to broaden what can be available
out of the box to users. That does not seem, to me, like the end of the
world you are painting it to be here.
