That's more or less what the idea is, but the reason this is getting so heated is that to some folks at least, doing that as part of "Fedora" (as opposed to doing it downstream from Fedora under a different name) *is* compromising ideals and rewriting policies. Since one of the Fedora foundations is Freedom - https://docs.fedoraproject.org/en-US/project/#_freedom - and we have historically been dead against official "Fedora" things containing non-free stuff.
It *is* allowable under current policies for something to call itself a "Fedora Remix" and include non-free stuff. I don't think it's entirely clear that the letter of any laws/policies/ideals would be violated by the existence of a "Fedora initiative" whose actual output was a "Fedora remix" with non-free stuff in it. But it's clearly something that some folks are not happy with and consider as being outside the historic expectations.
