However, this is not about dropping RPM in support of Flatpak. In this case, they asked an upstream maintainer to reduce their involvement. And it’s not FUD: it’s written in the blog post itself.

I’m also not sure about it, as I’ve always liked Fedora.

However, these news impact the whole Linux desktop, and GNOME in particular :(

This means that, in the medium-term at least, all those GNOME projects will go without a maintainer, reviewer, or triager:- gnome-bluetooth (including Settings panel and gnome-shell integration)- totem, totem-pl-parser, gom- libgnome-volume-control- libgudev- geocode-glib- gvfs AFC backendThose freedesktop projects will be archived until further notice:- power-profiles-daemon- switcheroo-control- iio-sensor-proxy- low-memory-monitorI will not be available for reviewing libfprint/fprintd, upower, grilo/grilo-plugins, gnome-desktop thumbnailer sandboxing patches, or any work related to XDG specifications.Kernel work, reviews and maintenance, including recent work on SteelSeries headset and Logitech devices kernel drivers, USB revoke for Flatpak Portal support, or core USB is suspended until further notice.

OP, this is the answer! It is exactly what you’re looking for.

To be fair, Maya’s support for USD blows Blender’s out of the water. It’s natural that Autodesk is in this, they’ve been supporting USD greatly for years. It is Blender that is a bit behind on USD/Hydra/Material X (but there is hope for the future).
