In the world of software nothing is only black and white; most of the 
stuff we ship will fall into a gray area one way or another. Let me 
mention a few.

1. Online-desktop: The world of free software has "fought" proprietary 
software for many years, only to partner up with the WWW behemoth that 
Google is. The purpose of the online-desktop is to integrate online 
services like flickr and Google with the rest of the system. Despite 
their public APIs online services are proprietary software just like 
Microsoft Office. Should we ban any application that makes it easy to 
access such services?

2. Firmware: Oh how I love that my network card works perfectly 
immediately after a fresh install, but there is no doubt that it 
contradicts the spirit of free sw.

3. Codec buddy: Already mentioned and discussed. But would we allow a 
similar solution if Nvidia decided to create a Video Buddy?

Conclusion: I think there are many issues that are far more 
controversial than the autodownloader scripts. The effort made by Hans 
has made Fedora a great gamers platform, and I do not think many 
end-users would understand the rational for removing them if this is 
what is the result from this discussion.
