Actually that would be a maintenance nightmare, as the Fedora
mainatainer will be desyncing from what ATrpms is offering and I'd
have to either wait until he updates his packages or break the
repo. Also for some patent/political/philosophical reasons the
asterisk/zaptel bits at Fedora are being partly cut out/patched, and
the maintainer even short-cuits upstream and puts his own upstream
work into the packages before they are accepted upstream, so the
builds would not be compatible even for the same version.

It is technically possible, after all the kmdls are build completely
separately from the userland bits. But the incomptibilities would
spoil all.

As usual technical tools and methods cannot overcome the fact that
people don't (want to) coordinate ... :/
