If we are going to point to a non-US repo, that repository would have 
it's own build system and SCM managed by Fedora contributors anyway and 
users would be dealing with that. Question is only about how close do we 
want it to be associated with Fedora and messaging it as a Fedora 
repository vs third party repository depending on technical and legal 
ramifications.
