Why not to create a new repository with reduced policy as

Because this would establish a 2-class society, with double

Also RH and other distros history repeatedly has told the lesson
such will not fly and are doomed to fail.
It seems to have been working just fine in RPMFusion, where the free
and nonfree repositories have different standards for inclusion, and
where packages in nonfree can depend on packages in free, but not the
other way.
RPMFusion working fine? Sorry, but I vehemently disagree with this.
Many of their packages are of low quality and their infrastructure is
more dead than alive.
History doesn't seem to unambiguously prove what you think it does,
but then I guess you can always argue that those examples just haven't
failed yet. ;)
I am referring to "RHL + Powertools (?)" (A historic desaster) and many
of these distro life cycle extending attempts (RHL had one I don't even
recall the name; Recently SuSE's Everlast went down).
