I don't understand what you mean above.

I believe it is really orthogonal to the issue. A staging repository will
not solve the issue of adding a library which is a dependency of a package
in Fedora proper. Moreover if it works better than the process we currently
have, we end up having the staging repository always being added by the users,
defeating the purpose of the processes we set.
