I originally raised this as a question to FESCo[1], but I was asked to bring it up on the Fedora Devel list. My apologies for taking so long to get around to it.
While looking into a preset request, I realized that the guidelines[2] do not say anything at all about enabling default services that are not packaged in Fedora. For a specific example: suppose that a particular VM host provides its guest tools only as a closed-source binary that they ship. Do we permit them to request the inclusion of their service in presets under the reasoning that it would enhance users' performance on those systems, or do we disallow any non-Fedora software from being included in the presets? What about a third-party repository that provides a closed-source service that enhances an open-source project (for example, a closed-source codec server that works with open-source encoding software)?
