Basically, this is an end-run around the requirement of doing
individual package reviews for a zillion completely separate packages,
right?

Since this approach really has disproportionately large negative impact
on the rest of the distro, it seems like we should find a better way.
(Maybe even a separate texlive repo and git branches, still hosted by
Fedora and built in koji, but allowing machine-generated CTAN packages?
