This might be a good start:

I'll let Brian or others answer more fully. I think the short version
is that users can download packages directly from the build system if
they want, but those builds might not be fully vetted yet. We don't
offer update metadata information either.

That's a very good post that explains a lot. I'm wondering if things have progressed in some way on Stream 9 vs. 8 relative to what's in that post.
Is the vetting process for packages to move from Koji to the repo similar to what happens in Fedora?
