Why is howdy in COPR and not in Fedora yet?
I don't really feel comfortable packaging it for Fedora. For one, there are a lot of issues with it:
- pam needs to be configured manually
- It's not secure at all
- The config file is located in /lib64/security/howdy/config.ini
- There are selinux issues
- Annoying console messages
- it uses pam-python which is very old, and not packaged for Fedora.

I try to fix some of them as can be seen in the copr repo [1], but it doesn't follow the packaging guidelines. Furthermore, the development seems to have stalled on v3. I'll probably take another look at it when v3 comes out, but for now I think copr will do.
