Two different issues got brought up.

1. Using Drupal for some of the Fedora website infrastructure
2. Including Drupal as an RPM into Fedora/RedHat or at least packaging
it nice and letting people install it as an RPM and maybe adding it to
somewhere like Dags repository

I believe that Khalid was talking about number 1 being relatively
impossible to convince them.

Item 2 has it's own set of benefits/problems but is definitely off
topic here and deserves to be discussed elsewhere.
