That’s just plain dumb. I usually don’t install rpm packages with the store but I frequently update my system from it. If they remove rpm support then they remove a huge ease of use feature.
My case is the other way around. I look for software in the store, and if I can’t find it, then I install from the terminal, but I always update (and remove) from terminal.
I’m a diehard Gnome user, but this will certainly make me move to something else.
Now, in flatpak’s defense, it’s great to keep browsers away from my system, as well as some other inconsequential apps that have no business integrating with my system. I like flatpak’s for these use cases. Everything else, I need my RPMs.
