The policy is pretty simple and unwritten on purpose- we try to make
sure we have a package in fedora/epel for anything we use in
infrastructure. For testing environments like publictest we don't
require it but we do try to make sure the process is in motion.

The reason the policy is unwritten is so our hands aren't tied waiting
for a review or a package push to happen.
