I agree, and I whish others could see this as what it is - a push to make everything so overcomplicated and repository-locked in the name of security that you need endless maintenance and a support contract to run even basic software on your PC, thereby taking F/OSS ad absurdum. When in reality we haven't seen significant end-user F/OSS in almost a decade.

What evidence to you have to suggest this extremely uncharitable interpretation of the Fedora project’s aims?
What's the aim of the Fedora project to Silverblue?
On workstations and laptops, no, but I work in enterprise and a _lot_ of Linux appliances out in the wild could benefit from this.
Well the question is will the enterprise Software Vendor like Citrix, IBM, Dell, HP and so on port there Software to this new Package format. Even for today it's difficult to run some SW/HW tools on "Linux" as the vendors support only a small amount of Linux distribution with specific versions.
