It would be quite surprising that after a decade of promoting “alternative” deployment methods to please internal @rh groups that came from non-Linux horizons with non-Linux habits the packager situation would be healthy.

High time for Fedora to remember that its value proposition is packages produced by packagers and not all the other stuff that takes the limelight and silently depends on the packages that are publicly and continuously disparaged. Fedora leaders did not manage to replace packages but they did manage to discourage packagers.
