Sure livna or any other 3rd party can use repoquery or related script
to detect breakage after Extras packages go public.... but i don't
think there is an appropriate solution that give downstream repos a
heads up warning before Extras package go public. If livna runs a
periodic closure script it may reduce the amount of time lag but it
can't reduce it to zero simply because livna has to run closure
against the public packages just as any user would be doing.
