BTW, why we cannot use pkgs.fedoraproject.org for exploded tree too?
Just another set of repositories, maybe with a different HTTP alias,

  Fedora-SCM:
  Upstream-SCM:
  Exploded-tree-SCM:

for example upstream SCM URL is already missing in our spec files,
it's more important information than URL to tarball.
