I'll see if there's anything I should take from your spec files.

Yes, I didn't submit that to Extras and don't plan to.  I built it for
vkeybd, but then realized it would better to port vkeydb to LASH instead
(which I did).

Yes, I'm not planning on submitting qjackconnect to Extras either.  My
recent post to fedora-music-list lists the packages I've submitted so
far.

Ok, thanks for pointing that out.

I didn't know there was a PlanetCCRMA hydrogen package, so I wrote this
one from scratch.  I bundled everything in the hydrogen package (kits &
demos), for the same reason.

I'm one of those bad hackers who disables selinux.  I'll enable and see
what happens.

You should mention this here:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=183912

Hmm.. I have no plans to trim the history.  Perhaps somebody will
mention this during the review bugzilla.
