Summary
To build a merged Core and Extras in a single build system, we need a number of build system changes and additions.

Usage cases/rationale
We want to eliminate the distinction between Core and Extras; right now Core packages are built internally to Red Hat, while Extras packages are built through the Extra build system. Eliminating the distinction involves merging the build systems.

Scope
Requires significant changes to mock and plague, and potentially rolling out Brew.

Test Plan
Build stuff.
