Is there any easy way to tell if a package is explicitly blocked vs just
not being present.
I thought there was one way by looking at the modules.yaml file and parse through the yaml for artifacts and filter.. however when I was doing that for the EPEL-8 bringup in 2019.. it was not always accurate.

Can we just jump in and try this out? I'd like to get qpdf-devel
available. If so, I guess I would do:
fedpkg request-repo --exception qpdf-devel
right?
I don't know so I can't answer this.
