IMHO it is not Fedora's job to define family values & moralities. Such morals/values will vary all around the world
I don't want fedora to define such things, we have our own values predefined.
it should not make my job finding suck packages difficult we have more than 10,000 packages in the repos so don't expect me to test them all
the package maintainers already classify their packages using Group: in the spec file
and they already classify them in yum comps files
I demand a systematic way, a policy that tells a package maintainer how to categories their packages in a unified proper way to warn people like us from their packages.
The problem, how do we determine what is offensive to any particular group? Some people consider 3D shooter games offensive. This is slippery slope. Unless there is a legal issue, I believe Fedora is going to end up with that package. For a derivative, you have to pick and choose what you want.

I don't like people who wants regulate everything because they think they are gods and they know what's good/bad for people. You, as administrator with root priviliges, you're the one who should say - this package is OK for my family, this is not... Same for TV regulations - you have remote, you're the best regulator!!! When I was young, my parents locked living room if they thought I have enough TV or there's something wrong they don't want to let me see. One month ago I've read interview with Czech broadcast regulation office boss and it was wonderful - he said - Internet never was intended as free/open medium, we have to regulate it (we is Europe Union) as companies broadcasting over Internet have advantage over that regulated. Isn't better to not regulate them instead of regulating Internet???
So please, prepare these packages, put them to the repository (not default in comps) - if there's good summary/description, it's admin/parent responsibility!
