I don't know if it is reasonable for several reasons.

1. We have no access (no pun intended) to those packages. [Yes the
person packages mongodb in Fedora works for Red Hat but that does not
mean they have access to the bits that another group is doing for SCL
work.]
2. SCL packages use their own form of magic and have their own
solutions to security issues. This can mean what they do for a
particular package won't work outside of an SCL environment. [This may
not be the case for mongodb.. I don't know enough to say yes/no.]
