Thank you for filing the ticket, Kevin. Even if lpf makes it easier for
users to use skype/spotify/whatnot, it's promoting non-foss software.
Not only is it against the packaging guidelines, it's quite against our
foundation of freedom too.
I think packaging stuff up for rpmfusion as we've already been doing is
the way to go.
