What's the point of this feature? I mean if we think we are to strict
we might want to rethink the guidelines.
And how is that different from other coprs repos where poeple already
can host that stuff on?
It even uses COPR (and thus shares the same problems like lack of
multilib and thus dependecy problems).

Is this going to be enabled by default? If yes how it is different
from just adding the packages in fedora proper if not
why is it a "feature" at all? It is just yet another external repo.
