ok. Thanks. There are many fewer epel7 packages than Fedora.

There are some complains about Koschei's usage of Koji, so I wanted to
be very careful with that. But recently, thanks to Ralph Bean, a Koji
feature was implemented [1] that should help mitigating the biggest
problem I heard of.

Perhaps yes, but...
Some people are not interested in Koschei at all. It has been in
production for almost a year (and a few months more in Fedora cloud),
but less than 1/3 packages are enabled [2]. Maybe it's a problem of
awareness?
I think it's some awareness and some just lazyness.
If there's no cases people can think of where the information would not
be helpfull, perhaps we can just enable it for everything.
I don't think we want to waste resources on rebuilding packages
that
no one wants to have in Koschei. Any packager, not only maintainer,
can toggle Koschei flag in pkgdb2, so if someone wants they can just
do it.
ok. I guess thats fair... perhaps we could enable it for a subset of
packages (ie all packages in important groups or something).
Something to ponder on.
