Weren't there talks about removing the Fedora flatpaks entirely in favor of a regular Flathub access?
There's always talk about that (see alternative 2), but that could block packaging core apps as Flatpaks.
Centralising around Flathub seems to me like it defeats the point of flatpak being able to have multiple repositories.
I think that besides unverified packages, lack of repositories (for example, for FOSS only) is the main problem of Flatpak rn
I wonder if selectively mirroring flathub is an option. The point of the fedora flatpak repo is to only have open source applications isn’t it?
There's a priority mechanism in Fedora/flatpak but when I tried to give priority to flathub it was ignored.
Maybe it works now.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).
Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.
