We have not considered, and need to discuss, whether to allow that
snapcore package into Fedora proper; there's a strong argument to be
made that we should accept all free software, but doing that could
undercut our Flatpak effort. If popular upstreams start distributing
snaps, then we'll probably have to support it, though.
As others have already said, since when have we been in the business of
deciding that certain things can't be packaged because they compete with
other things?
Background info: In the Workstation working group, we're currently
planning to allow replacing RPM packages for graphical apps with
Flatpaks. We're also planning to remove Fedora packages for selected
apps that are offered as Flatpaks by upstream. For instance, if
(hypothetical) Inkscape were to offer a Flatpak download on their web
site, the Inkscape developers could request that we remove the Inkscape
Fedora package and display their Flatpak in GNOME Software instead;
The Inkscape developers? or the Inkscape packager(s) in Fedora?
I mean I really hope you're not saying that upstream developers will be
able to start demanding that a third party packager's work is removed
from Fedora!
