Would you mind leaving the 'p' word out of this discussion?No, it doesn't, which is exactly my point... the harder, or more explicitly, anything must be done to distribute proprietary software... the more likely it will be done with a shell script which spews files all over the place. You don't get proprietary software to work nicely with package management systems by making it even harder.Maybe, maybe not. 'p' to some means anything != free/oss. And if it's free/oss, what better place than to be *in* fedora.
I don't understand why anyone would have any interest in an operating system that can only run its own programs. Aside from the obvious limitations since no one could seriously expect it to include all possibilities, it has to be an enormous waste of effort to build the specialized versions and package them in repositories that few people will use anyway.
