I found that
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Third_Party_Software_Repositories
works in f28 KDE DE also:
'dnf install fedora-workstation-repositories' installs the extra third
party repositories on the command line and makes the .repo files
available in /etc/yum.repos.d/.

Ah, I did not realize the repositories were disabled in the rpm. Would
it be appropriate for me to update this
<https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Workstation/Third_Party_Software_Repositories>page
to mention that under the command line installation section?
Additionally, might it be worth adding a provision to the policy that
new repositories must be disabled? Perhaps it is redundant since the
request goes through Legal and FESCo anyway, but it could be helpful
to users and packagers reading the policy.
Anyway, thanks very much! I appreciate the clarification. My initial
concern is completely put to rest.

I don't understand why someone would add such a dep... but even if
they
did, the repos would not be enabled when installed. They are
disabled in
the rpm. The user must explicitly enable them.

Well, depending on what they are they would need to pass Legal and
FESCo
approval which would be via ticketing, etc.
Open to better ways to word that policy page for them...
