Such a tool, or such information that the tool uses to get the list of
repos must live outside the scope of Fedora. Fedora tools/content
cannot link to, point to, or otherwise enable the use of repositories
that may include illegal or ForbiddenItems content.

Anyone can add repo's to yum now in /etc/yum.repos.d. A lot of people do
this to add missing codecs from alternate repositories to play things like
MP3 files. Last I heard Fedora was supporting Yum. They just don't want to
be party to providing links to sites that may have legal entanglements
themselves. They leave that up to the users of yum. How would a tool like
this be any different ?
