Short answer? No.

Long answer:

1. The base repository design will not change. These packages could be
accepted into a SIG or variant build, but they will never be in base.

2. Elrepo is an entirely separate project that we have no control over.
It's entirely up to them to decide if they want to go this route. We
could certainly welcome them, but it's not our decision to make.
