Definitely. The replacement and redefinition of rpkg methods is really slick.
However, it would be nice to push some generality upward into rpkg (without
breaking the way it works currently for fedpkg of course). That would let 3rd
party sites call rpkg's methods with configurable options rather than
copy-pasting rpkg's code into the redefinition.
