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
Surely that is the very reason for existance of your derived distro project. If a derived distro wants todo a spin of Fedora with a package set that meets some particular criteria, it is the job of that derived distro to analyse the packages. If we have to maintain a list of packages for you, then what is to stop every other derived distro asking us to maintain lists of packages for their criteria too. It is your choice to build a distro with certain restrictions, ergo, it is your job to analyse the packages to comply with your restrictions. If you don't want to analyse all 10,000, then take a whitelist approach, instead of a blacklist, and build up your package set from a small trusted base.
