Good idea. A short explanation on how to add the proper "excludes=..."
lines to their repository configuration would likely help.

In this case, no. Fedora never has and does not support proprietary
software. You knowingly taint your system by installing such things. Thus,
when it breaks, you - and you alone - get to keep the pieces (as is
sometimes said).

Fedora's goal is not to be a stable platform for third-party packagers.
While this may generally be the case, Fedora's goal is to showcase the
latest-and-greatest Free and Open Source software, and not to ensure its
compatibility with proprietary add-ons.
