 Note that Cisco is not the world's only networking vendor and some
 other vendors make their software available as a VM image for
 evaluation and learning. You might add the ready availability of
 learning platforms to the Request for Tender the next time you make a
 major networking purchase.

And the images of a different vendor can be used with qemu, which is
already in Fedora.

None of which is helpful if one wants to specifically use Cisco
software in emulation, I agree.

Other RPM's/spec's are out there for different RPM based distros, of
varying quality, most not quite Fedora compatible,

These are what I've fiddled with/created and am currently using for FC16/x86_64,

 While GSN3 itself does not require said bits, it's basically
 just a frontend for programs that do.

You might want to add the patch for multiple idlepc values. This makes a
big difference in practice.

As far as Fedora's policy Packages which are not useful without
external bits note that there are repositories such as rpmfusion with
less strict inclusion criteria. Perhaps your package would be happier
there, whilst still making it easy for Fedora users to install GNS3.
