  It is when you consider that it is making up for developers of what I
would call 'problem' apps being unwilling to cooperate and provide that
rather simple procedure of yumifying their ftp site with their rpms.  As
far as those who don't package their apps as rpms or take contributions
from their community of users to create a package from their
tarball...well, there we have a bigger problem.  The only thing Fedora
should do in those cases is encourage and instruct them in building
rpms.
