While recognizing the massive maintenance burden of this COPR, I suspect the majority of objections will come from the enthusiast end user type - you know, the ones that are so eager to try the new thing they read about that they blow right past the description. This COPR received a lot of publicity; fedoramagazine articles, social media, blog posts, etc.
Can you work in similar signal for end users? Besides the online content, I think even an integrated warning from within the GNOME session would be cool. I could show you a dozen examples from ask.fp.o where users encounter a "404, your repo has gone away" and they do not understand it.
