Fast forward 6 months and evidentally no one else was enthusiastic about

I've now opened ticket and pull request with the packaging committee
https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/issue/1259
https://pagure.io/packaging-committee/pull-request/1260
so ideally please direct any feedback to the above locations.
With regards,
Daniel
