The problem I see with this is that it's bound to result in patches that
some upstream developers will find unpalatable.  Can non-Fedora-specific
arguments be made against this practice *that are sufficiently
compelling to justify the potential for long-term maintenance of
patches*?

I say, "non-Fedora-specific" because this is a lot more compelling if
the project can say, unequivocally, that Fedora is taking a stand
against a generally harmful practice.  If, however, the reasons driving
this are mostly Fedora-specific, it's a harder sell.  Broadly speaking,
a distribution like Fedora should be doing its best to adapt to what
upstream developers deliver.
