So Fedora and openSUSE are most superior. OK.
i'm not sure what that has to do with the argument
(curious, though: does the Fedora project even have an equivalent to universe? I also thought that OBS didn't have security updates just like the AUR doesn't.)
No because all FOSS software distributed by Fedora is in the main repo.
No, it's the same with every distro.
Distro maintainers CAN'T support repos containing non-free packages with security fixes.
Because they can't fix security issues in the code.
Because the code is not free for them to edit.
This entire criticism just shows a lack of understanding of how distros work, and what security updates are.
Ubuntu Universe does not have licensing issues. Ubuntu's nonfree repository is Multiverse. Universe is just the community- as opposed to project-maintained one
Same thing applies.
The AUR doesn't get security updates from Arch,
RPM Fusion doesn't get security updates from Fedora,
Packman doesn't get security updates from OpenSUSE,
and Slackbuilds/Alienbob don't get security updates from Slackware.
woelk did make a good point that based on submission processes, Fedora Main is basically their equivalent of Ubuntu Universe, though.
