I might be wrong, but I use other red hat based systems, mostly centos, and they don't allow it. If Fedora is doing that, then it's just another linux distro that went wrong. This new system simplifies the compiling and installation. Aka as ports in your home. I took a look at the code by the way and it was relatively well coded. Not that many formulas yet, though. OP, you're on the right direction.
