If you mean by easier, a direct reference to a third party repository, 
then it both a potential legal issue and a matter of policy. I would 
suggest that folks curious about all these refer to list archives 
because we have gone through this dozens of times before.

There has been some things that we are pursuing to look at what we could 
potentially change from time to time though but this is a pretty 
complicated issue that involves a nice mix of Fedora policies that are 
in favor of Free and open source software and potential issues with 
copyright and patent laws.
