Maybe this is part of a bigger theme (e.g. "improve packager <-> user
connection"?
For example AFAIK users don't get any explanation if one of their installed
packages got orphaned in Fedora when upgrading.
While this isn't such a big deal with Fedora ("Core") where we have frequent
releases this seems to be even more important for EPEL. I think by now it's
pretty clear that the community is unable maintain some package versions for
full length of a RH release cycle which leads to random/unpredictable major
version upgrades or just completely outdated versions (which are not supported
by upstream anymore, thus security issues might not be handled properly).
So having a way for packagers to communicate with actual Fedora users would be
a great thing. Obviously due to the more temporary(?) nature of COPR repos
these seem to hit similar problems.
