Restricting KoPeR isn't really going to prevent anybody from setting up a
third-party repository. They can already do that on the openSUSE Build
Service (which supports Fedora targets), on fedorapeople.org (if their
repository is small enough for the quota there) or on their own
infrastructure (for example, repo.calcforge.org runs off a VPS, and
my "build system" is a laptop). It just will make them not use KoPeR.
Packages built on the openSUSE Build Service consistently contain SUSEisms,
which the Build Service appears to hack support for into their Fedora
buildroots, or outright buildserviceisms, e.g. %{?fedora_version} instead
of %{?fedora}. So I'm not sure denying the use of KoPeR to some of the
interested parties is going to improve overall packaging quality. At least
packages in KoPeR are guaranteed to be buildable with Koji.
