Everyone here knows the deal with Fedora. They don't promote non OSS
software for partly legal and (in my opinion, might be wrong) partly
philosophical reasons against closed source.

My point has nothing to do with promoting anything or whether the
additional software meets your religious beliefs or not. It is strictly
about providing a user with a platform that is not limited by design or
its inability to provide stable interfaces.

You say limit by design, I say do not support. Limit by design would
be to hard code repos into yum. Not support would be to not provide
all repos in yum by default.
