TIL that SUSE's security is actively involved in openSUSE's packages. It was due to their effort that openSUSE retired Deepin desktop packages. Props to (open)SUSE for this!
Fedora is basically playing catch-up by following their lead. I'm glad that they did, though - even if it took them a year...
It does sound like SUSE mainly removed them due to issues specifically with how Deeping was packaged for SUSE. It's likely that there were also issues with Fedora's packaging (if that was also handled by upstream), but not necessarily that they were the same issues, so I get why they wouldn't just blindly copy their decision.
(It also looks like Deepin's working to correct the SUSE-specific issues, which is good to see.)
