If we absolutely must have build-only packages, we can do it more simply: insert Requires: fedora-unmaintained-package or Requires: fedora-buildonly-package (name TBD), and beef up dnf a bit to explain that "this package cannot be installed because it's only maintained at the level appropriate for building packages...". I think there are two advantages: first, no need for a separate repo, so there'll be less infra change and churn. Second, this tag can easily set on each subrpm, without any central list to manage.
