Back in FC3 or something like that - Fedora had some video package that
would tell the user to install RealPlayer - and the list was full of
complaints about it.
I don't think Fedora should endorse the closed source drivers/software -
they do sometimes mis-behave, and the Fedora developers can't do squat
about it - so Fedora itself should not recommend them.
But I don't mind it being as easy as possible for new users (who may not
understand yum etc.) to get them.
