Do a reasonable job and I will not complain. - This case however, you went too
far - I am expecting you to excuse.

Besides this:
* Basing works on private forks are a classical way inexperienced programmers
outsmart themselves (c.f. "bundled API incompatible libs).
* Proposing to include them into Fedora is typical for new-comers, who are not
aware about the issues they are causing.
* It would not be the first time somebody @RH was pushing a RH fork into
Fedora, without coordination with upstream and/or other distros.
