If you use koji's latest link you will not ever need to regen the repo. but 
your repos will be outdated.  the packages it points at should always remain 
valid. but you would want to regular regen's if you do not mirror fedora 
internally, which is what I would recommend you do, you should setup a local 
caching server to keep the rpms close by and speed up how long it takes koji 
to do builds so it is not downloading from the internet all the time
