I like the idea of having "recommended", "reviewed", "redistributed"
as further tiers within Ring 3. The "redistributed" level would
capture the requirement for something to be built in COPR: it has to
be legal for Fedora as a *project* to redistribute it. The further
tiers (reviewed, recommended, Ring 2, Ring 1, Ring 0) would then
reflect various additional criteria that can be applied to the
package, with accordingly increased levels of scrutiny.

FHS compliance, for example, might be required for a package to be
considered "recommended".

Cheers,
Nick.
