This is a bad example IMO. We are not set up to handle coprs that
include essential system packages. If you try to remove the gnome-3.12
copr with gnome-software, it just uninstalls your desktop environment
and leaves you with a broken computer.
Installing a single application that's not in Fedora from a copr is one
thing, or a newer version of an application, but not if they are core
system packages.
