Yeah, because we want those packages to be available as build dependencies. So coprs are out (unless we allow pulling in coprs into the koji buildroot, which I don't think we should.) Instead of a separate maintained repo, I'd go for a "Requires" or "Provides" tag on packages instead. This would be easier to implement (packagers could just add this as any other Requires), and we could easily tweak dnf to emit a warning or require a special option before those packages were installed on the end user system.
