This makes me kind of scared. I'm all for the first sort of software
collection, but I think limiting this helps constrain the problem set.

(Although I don't think such packages should be limited from, eg, Fedora
Playground.)

I'm not sure how/if this matters on Fedora, but for EL, being able to use devtoolset would be a big gain and would allow for inclusion of packages that require a newer compiler than gcc 4.4 that comes with RHEL 6 ( https://lists.fedoraproject.org/pipermail/epel-devel/2013-September/008737.html ).
