Hi all,

Regarding the inclusion of the fedora-workstation-repositories package in
F28, is there currently a policy in place against including it as a
dependency? From what I understand from the recent fedora magazine article
<https://fedoramagazine.org/third-party-repositories-fedora/> and the policy
wiki page
<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Third_party_software_policies?rd=Workstation/Third_party_software_proposal>,
the purpose of distributing the third-party repositories an rpm is to
ensure that a user must enable them explicitly.


Is there some some preventative measure in place to protect users from the
package being pulled in silently as a dependency? If repository-enabling
rpms are to become acceptable cases for package submissions, what
considerations are being taken to ensure such submissions are tracked and
handled similarly?


Apologies if this has been addressed before, but I haven't been able to
find any documentation on the subject.


Thanks,

DB
