    It reads as if fedora wanted to created a broke package. As if it was on purpose to annoy everyone. Do you think that was their intention?

      The OBS and Bottles packages have been broken for a long time. Long enough that both upstream projects asked them to stop many months ago. They don’t get to pretend it was a mistake. This isn’t just another case of a minor packaging bug getting to users. They are packaging the software incorrectly.

      Not OP, but for me the issue is if you want to override the default and make it opt-out, especially sine the opt-out process isn’t that well documented, then you should realize that support is a necessary part of that process and fix problems as they arise rather than resorting to name calling and hostile behavior when something you published is broken. It’s a responsibility of taking on that kind of project. Either that or make it explicitly opt-in and give users a warning like with beta version opt-in notifications that the packages are not official and issues may not be fixed as quickly as the official releases.
