Perhaps it's better to just build the kernel in koji and have people
fetch it directly from there, at least I fail to see what overhead
of creating/maintaining a copr repo for just a single GA release is
supposed to add to the table.
There are only two ways to do that:
1) Rebase the release branch in git to 4.3 and then build.
2) Build from a stabilization branch with a release target
1 is a no-go because if we aren't committing to the rebase offically, it
makes doing fixes on that branch extremely difficult.
2 can be done (at least to my knowledge there are no checks in koji for
git branches), but having it in koji as a random one-off build is also
strange.
As a random aside, I would much rather decouple kernel release and
Fedora release entirely but our tooling doesn't easily allow it.

Nodebug ( for kernel testing ) or fetch from koji specific built is
how people are ( and where taught when I was ambassador ) how to get
these things if they needed a specific build.
Yes, in the past. COPR didn't exist in the past. It was created, in
part, to do things just like we're doing now. It certainly is
different, but I don't see a reason not to use new tools available to
us.
