We already have one package attempting to gather things out of packages,
specspo.  It's horribly behind, often wrong, and generally useless.  I'd rather
not see Fedora repeat this mistake.

If you want to be able to get information about available packages, we have
repodata for that reason.  If you think content will be too big, generate a
file for each package that is "extra info".  Clients can fetch just the extra
info they care about.  It'll require some engineering on the repodata creation
side, and a lot of work to make sure it doesn't slow composes down, but that's
the right place to put it, right along side all the other data about available
packages.

I will not support this package.
