One problem is that Rawhide is still post package review.

For mainline, COPR has been a massive release value for testing inbound
code - take the example of etcd that I'm working on right now[1]  There
are people that are trying to iterate on *actually using* etcd, while
I'm simultaneously trying to de-bundle and update the package.

On a mainline system, you can take stock Fedora and add the COPR - it
works well.

But for Atomic, the tree has to be composed *as a unit* - and such a
tree containing COPR code would then (to my understanding) be required
to be a Remix.

This type of thing is yet another reason to support local package
layering - the current state is definitely one of the negative tradeoffs
for the atomic updates in the current architecture.
