While recognizing the massive maintenance burden of this COPR, I suspect
the majority of objections will come from the enthusiast end user type -
you know, the ones that are so eager to try the new thing they read about
that they blow right past the description.  This COPR received a lot of
publicity; fedoramagazine articles, social media, blog posts, etc.

Can you work in similar signal for end users?  Besides the online content,
I think even an integrated warning from within the GNOME session would be
cool.  I could show you a dozen examples from ask.fp.o where users
encounter a "404, your repo has gone away" and they do not understand it.
