1. If a user has enabled a third-party COPR repository, then after this 
change they won't be able to automatically install packages from it via 
a simple "sudo dnf copr enable ... && sudo dnf upgrade --refresh" 
command, right?

2. What happens if a user installs a package from a third-party COPR 
repository, and then a new version appears in the official Fedora 
repository? Will they be permanently locked to this unsupported version, 
or what?
