Do we want to permit packages in Fedora Extras, which install and enable

Uhm... it's a package in Fedora Extras which installs and enables an
external Yum repository for "updates". Highly questionable, since those
updates ought to be provided within Fedora Extras.
This asks for a new policy.

Makes me wonder whether this has been like that during package review
already or whether the packager added it later.

It was there at review time but not commented on:
