See:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Third_Party_Repository_Policy

AFAIK this is used by gnome-software. It will somehow (I'm not using it personally) offer for installation even SW from disabled repository. I assume that if user enable to install it, it must agree with enabling that repository.

Are you sure that it is really used by any software? The fedora repos can live without it therefore the question is why copr not?
Comment 4 Miroslav Suchý 2016-07-27 14:09:13 UTC 
Yes, I am sure:

https://git.gnome.org/browse/gnome-software/log/?qt=grep&q=enabled_metadata

Fedoras repos can live without it, because it is not 3rd party repository.
