I missed the whole discussion regarding this but this decision is not only wrong but it sets a bad precedent. Banning software on the ground of being able to crack system and no it doesn't not matter whether it is advertised as such, as it can be used for other purposes like validating the security of systems.

This is by far the most idiotic decision the Fedora Board ever made. Not that I care about the particular tool here, but banning software only based on FUD (this is exactly what happened here) is wrong, wrong and in case you missed it WRONG!.
