Via updates was what I was thinking either a check or setting up 
Fedora/Generic/<insert registered remix> Channel something similar to 
Red Hat channel basically.

Preferable a solution the user would not have to opt in about... ( Those 
only give the half of the picture at best )

The end goal here simply for us being able to measure and gather 
statistic for various purposes on Fedora vs Unofficial remixes.

As things stand now we cant even say how many remixes are out there nor 
how much of Fedora's overall stats and success belongs to them thus for 
example no way for us to do some research in what they are doing right 
and we are doing wrong or how much these remixes contribute back to 
Fedora and so on and so fourth simply because we have no way of telling 
that.
