In not sure this would constitute a "significant " change, but assuming
it were, can you point to where this decision has been formally stated? I'm certainly aware that Fedora is upstream first, but I believe we carry patches in cases where we have to.
The general guidance is to avoid this as much as possible

The Distribution Integration possibility might be the relevant issue. Again, I'm not sure this qualifies because I don't think Workstation is quite at the point of discussing these types of ux issues, yet.
That may not be appropriate in this particular case but I think the
needs of the Fedora project have to come before upstream.
Divergence may not be necessary and is always a maintenance burden. So
you work primarily in the space of upstream projects for core development and focus within Fedora should be as a point of integration and projects/infrastructure that help with that.
Of course. That's why I said that Fedora tries to upstream as much as possible, but, as your document says, that's not always possible. In brief, I don't think we are disagreeing:)
