There is nothing preventing someone from producing a high quality package
in a COPR.  Dismissing it out of hand is shortsighted.  It is a tool and
like all tools it may solve a need in the future that we can't foresee
right now.  I'd rather have the conversation and know the options.  Even if
we don't find anything of value today, we might someday.
