Modern C for Fedora (and the world)

Just a little context for my specific project, because I agree with the points you’re making about inconvenience. I work on an out of tree (GPL licensed!) file system project. We support a decent variety of distributions, but we have extensive CI so we catch stuff early, and since it’s a file system, it’s not common for people to try to build for/with something we don’t support. (And our formal position on support for kernels is “there’s a (fairly wide) list we test, otherwise good luck and we’re accepting patches”).

So we have circumstances that are a bit different, I think.
