Remember that Fedora Linux is nothing other than the RHEL development,
testing and QA tree.

Red Hat (corporation) is legally required to care first and foremost
about Red Hat, and all practical matters follow directly from that.

So it's logical that it's not so easy to make changes in their tree.

You can build and host rpm(s) for Fedora where you like, and people
who use Fedora (ie. contribute free QA+testing to RHEL) can download
and install .rpm files "by hand".

Maybe there is even a way to add further third party package sources,
which are then considered (searchable, installable, etc) by the
package manager tools? That I don't know.
