COPR can play interesting role here as outer ring for automated packaging.
I agree.
E.g. there is interesting project
https://copr.fedorainfracloud.org/coprs/iucar/cran/
run by @iucar which brings all R packages from CRAN to Fedora.
Not quite yet, but we are getting there. :) COPR is growing fast, and
I'm sure this kind of projects will be viable soon.
