Its temporary.

My understanding is that soon fedpkg will be able to request all this
(wrapping the fedrepo-req details).

See:
https://pagure.io/fedpkg/issue/137

We should make sure and ask that you can request the new package and all
the branches you want at the same time.

Also see:
https://pagure.io/fedrepo_req/issue/92
and
https://pagure.io/fedrepo_req/pull-request/106
(which is already in stable in f26 at least)
