That is fucking stupid, but mostly because why on Earth should you drop a valid package format plenty of people use? Forcing rpm out will force people to use dnfdragora for that, creating two different app stores for one distribution.
Flatpaks are IMO good and are a great option for a casual user who doesn’t want to accidentally screw up their system. Fully packed isolated dependencies, permission systems and other features make them great in many ways.
Being friends is good - what sucks is when your love doesn’t love you back.
It’s one thing being friends with someone you’ve always only seen as a friend, and very much another to be romantically rejected and proposed to “stay friends”.
