Then I'm glad there is absolutely no plan to preempt flatpack technical 
assessment by shipping one or more GNOME apps as flatpack-only, leaving Fedora 
users for whom flatpack does not work yet behind, and bypassing distribution 
consensus processes.

This kind of action would be really divisive¹, especially while simultaneously 
seeking Fedora endorsement.

Best regards,

¹ Those shortcuts rarely end well. Even when the missing bits are eventually 
added, users have a long memory of being left in the dust because their 
use-cases are deemed "wrong" or "uninteresting".
