Surely that is the very reason for existance of your derived distro
project. If a derived distro wants todo a spin of Fedora with a 
package set that meets some particular criteria, it is the job of
that derived distro to analyse the packages.  If we have to maintain a
list of packages for you, then what is to stop every other derived 
distro asking us to maintain lists of packages for their criteria
too. It is your choice to build a distro with certain restrictions,
ergo, it is your job to analyse the packages to comply with your
restrictions.  If you don't want to analyse all 10,000, then take
a whitelist  approach, instead of a blacklist, and build up your
package set from a small trusted base.
