How about

$ fedpkg clone cockpit-docker


Pros

 * no need to change infrastructure

 * easy to use

 * repo name suggests content

Cons

 * not a different namespace (in fact same namespace as rpms)

 * someone can do `fedpkg clone cockpit-docker && cd cockpit-docker && fedpkg
   build` and get scared that it doesn't work

   * `build` could be aware of Dockerfile and run `container-build` actually

   * error could suggest using different build method


What's the way of building (qcow, docker base) images? Could that approach be
resued? (meaning, what's the way of storing kickstart files atm?)
