Fedora opens up to bundling

The distro providing the libraries to use and encouraging people to use them by a policy of un-bundling is a kind of implicit endorsement that the library is going to be maintained with an ABI and that the distro is going to take responsibility for this maintenance even if the upstream is uncooperative. It doesn't really make sense for a distro to take a hardcore no-bundling stance and simultaneously disclaim any responsibility for the libraries they package and force developers to use.

Maybe it makes more sense for a distro to seperate into a core of maintained software that people are expected to depend on, and a universe of software packaged for convenience only with no expectation for unbundling. Each distro trying to consume all of the software in the world and treat it as one blob in-house doesn't seem to be working all that well
