FESCo has voted to continue to block this content, on the basis that it does
not "enhance the OS user experience".  Imagine this:

I'm Joe User, who wants to use ovm.  I type 'yum install ovm iverilog' and
expect to be able to do whatever ovm does (and I'll have to admit ignorance as
to exactly what this is - I'm not a hardware guy). I find that I can't do that,
and instead have to buy some expensive proprietary tool in order to make use of
this free content.

We're fine with the concept of ovm being in Fedora, but we also want something
that is able to use this content, even if it's at a very primitive level that
no one actually *would* use it in a production environment. The link that
Chitlesh posted earlier to upstream iverilog forums seemed to indicate that
they had other priorities other than making this work.
