Hello,

I have a question regarding the fx package in Fedora. I am a heavy user of the 
tool, although I have always installed it manually from upstream. I noticed 
that the tool was previously packaged[0] in Fedora, but has been orphaned[1] 
for about four years with the following reason:

> Orphaned for: Other -- Ongoing controversy over viability and interpretation 
> of NodeJS guidelines

Sorry if this is a newbie question (I'm new on Fedora packaging), but what was 
the controversy?

While looking into the history[2] of fx, I noticed that it was originally 
written in JavaScript around 2021, so I suspect that this may be the reason it 
was orphaned. However, the project was later rewritten in Go for several years 
now. Would this change be sufficient for it to be packaged in Fedora again?

Thank you,
