This is definitely not *preferred* from a Packaging Guidelines point of view,
but it's not *forbidden*.

FWIW, I agree. I will elaborate in the post to the crypto-team mailing list
that is mandatory for package reviews like this. But TL;DR is that as far as I
can tell, this is the least bad option we have for Fedora packaging. (I am
working to replace "rust-ring" with "rust-aws-lc-rs" - aligning with the
changed defaults in rustls upstream, and moving from a project with arguably
spotty maintenance to one backed by Amazon / AWS. If you think this package is
bad, don't look at rust-ring. ;))
