That’s a nice sentiment, but practically, the reason why Debian and Fedora are not interchangeable, or why @gnome is dead set on creating alternative toolchains, to “free” itself from distributions, is tooling and only tooling. You can not integrate at the level of a distribution without deep tooling control and strategy. You can not replace the tools without effectively embarking on a different distribution with a different contributor set. I am quite sceptical on how much of this can be SAASed away to a third party without deleterious long term effects. (I don’t say it is impossible, but it is a huge gamble). What I am sure, is that the CPE statement “Gitlab is cool because they will think about the roadmap in our stead” is a complete misunderstanding of what makes Fedora tick.
