The proprietary or patent encumbered software can be excluded. Maybe 
look at rpmfusion.net for that. Software that doesn't have a active 
upstream or niche software doesn't have to be automatically excluded. 
Fedora repository certainly has a lot of such software included. Even 
stuff like vixie-cron doesn't really have any upstream activity anymore.

Right and the "problem" of Fedora repository getting larger is only 
going to increase. Rawhide reports per day has around half a dozen NEW 
packages being added.

Maybe you can list the packages in your repository in fedora-devel list 
and see if other folks are interested in them.
