Comment (by kevin):
I think if we did vet 3rd party repos and use the name of packages from
one, but not another it would be a defacto 'blessing' of that repo by
Fedora, which I think would be wrong.
We can't really know what repo the packager had in mind, and they cannot
point to it, so I think we should just forbid using deps outside the
Fedora collection to avoid blessing any one repo or confusing our users as
to which one(s) they should use.
