The Moby Project doesn't officially exist anymore, so Fedora uses an Internet Archive snapshot of it for the dictionary of English words for the /usr/share/dict directory. This doesn't seem very reliable, as the snapshot might become unavailable at some point, specially with Internet Archive being threatened by lawsuits.
GNOME OS Nightly and Arch are using GNU Aspell. Maybe Fedora can also use it?

We already should be using Aspell and Hunspell dictionaries, I think?
Please note that Aspell has been deprecated in Fedora. See https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Changes/AspellDeprecation
We are using Hunspell dictionaries for spellchecking in Fedora.

Well, I guess we shouldn't switch /usr/share/dict to GNU Aspell, then.
I made the title more generic now instead of suggesting to use GNU Aspell.
