You don't understand. We can't make Livna/RPM Fusion official, because
of legal issues. And stop here. It's IMPOSSIBLE.

Fedora protects us from any problems with patents by removing
nonfreeness from repos.

That's why Livna exists. It provides us the packages we want, but Fedora
simply can't include.

Unofficial packages can land in Fedora, but Fedora Frog allows mostly
doing things, which Fedora protects us from.

It's true, so work upstream :P .

Because of other compromises.

And you're sure that EVERYONE needs such functionality?

Pirut can have new face, but it will be replaced by PackageKit. Did you
read my e-mail?

Yumex is complete different from Synaptic. Don't know where you get such
"association" from.

Read Fedora's description if you still understand.

"Best free and open source software"

BTW, Happy Easter.
