I'm actually okay with the thought of Koji hub moving to Fedora. I'd rather see most of our infra running on Fedora so that we don't get kneecapped by RHEL moving too slowly. Our transition to Python 3 was made way more complicated by the fact our infrastructure ran on RHEL 6 or RHEL 7, where Python 3 wasn't available in a useful manner for a very long time. Having our own infra run on our distribution that we have a say in makes a huge difference in being able to move things forward. Not that I hate RHEL or anything, but we don't have a say in anything when it comes to RHEL, and they don't really care about bugs we report that afflict us that much. Not exactly the most solid foundation to run a distribution's infrastructure on, wouldn't you say? That said, I'm less happy about the thought that inspecting Fedora RPMs on RHEL 8 or openSUSE is going to be a royal pain. Ecosystem-wise, no one really prepared for a distribution to switch to zstd so quickly. Thankfully, it's easier to support than things like modularity, which break the entire way people do things. If we decide to do this, at least I'll try to see to get things fixed on the SUSE side.
