This might work for RPMFusion, but only because you have a limited set
of packages, and because you can rely on the Fedora buildroot and
dependencies always to be there.
For Fedora itself, we do not have that luxury. We would need to know
the packages that are needed to build and maintain the base buildroot
plus everything needed to build multilib packages. As I said, this is
not so easy. And then we're back to modifying (adding config files)
all packages that need to be included (or maintaining a hard-coded
list of required packages in fedpkg), so you don't gain anything at
all, compared to the simple opt-out mechanism from this Proposal.
