There are plenty of things packaged in COPR which don't work with
SELinux or are otherwise even more horrible. That's okay; it's one of
the reasons we have COPR in the first place. Some things will
"incubate" there and hopefully become less horrible (and maybe even
migrate into the distro proper). Other things might stay terrible
forever. In this particular case, though, given the note about SELinux
support being planned, it looks like it's the better of the two
situations, really.

But you do have a point.
It's going to have to be something that those of us supporting in IRC check
for when someone has issues with their browser or libreoffice I suppose.
