Are you willing to do the packaging work? Asking upstream to create packages for every distribution is not reasonable.
I would never want upstream to do packaging, as experience teaches, they would certainly do it wrong. Packaging and integration is a job for the distribution; it is their added value. Otherwise, what's the meaning of a distribution, if the system is composed by a minimal booting image on which you add upstream generated blobs? Sorry, but the common "why do not do it yourself?" objection is not the correct way to address my point. As a "consumer" (even if, not paying) I am just expressing my idea about what I would like or not. The "producers" (Fedora/RH) can take note, or ignore the feedback. Their luck will, at the end of the day, depend on the merit of their choices. Anyway, yes, I've considered becoming a Fedora packager, I've started the process and then got discouraged by the abundant bureaucracy. And these kinds of threads do not help in regaining some enthusiasm in resuming the process.
