OK. We can postpone this change in Koji/mock for Fedora 24 or even later.
But I wanted to state that because of long life of RHEL, this has to be done someday.
It can be now, in half a year or in two years, but it is inevitable.
Even if that would mean some changes in Koji.
I raised this in advance so no one is surprised and we have time to prepare our tools in whole chain.
