Comment:

 One of the big benefits of dist-git and fedpkg is so that you can do your
 work while being entirely offline. adding checkking into fedpkg  breaks
 its ability to work networkless for doing development work or it means you
 have to add a manually created list that needs frequent updating and is
 easy to circumvent.

 Adding something on the server would mean much greater complexity in the
 acl system and add another manual step at release EOL.

 I really do not see the benefit of implementing any of this, we remove the
 ability to build for EOL releases in koji, the commits cause no actual
 harm.


 As it is I and I suspect most developers mostly use git and not fedpkg to
 do commits and change branches etc, so adding checks to fedpkg gets us
 very little.
