We could provide nosrc.rpms like jpackage does, but we can think about it
later.

Actually I have a group of students working on a third party application
installer for Fedora, which will use a combination of autodownloader, no src
rpms (which will automatically get build using "sources" downloaded through
autodownloader) and system-install-packages, the end result will be a list of
applications like acroreader, googleearth, realplayer, etc. Which can then be
installed / updated with a single click by the enduser, while still getting
correct SELinux permissions, being easy removable as they will be installed as
rpms, etc.
If anyone is interested in helping them I can put you in contact.
