However, you are concerned that packages installed from COPR will be permanently locked to an unsupported version when a newer version appears in the Fedora repositories. You would like a specific exception for packages installed from COPR (vendor starting with "Fedora Copr") so that if a newer official version appears (vendor equal to "Fedora Project"), libdnf5 would automatically allow switching to this official version.

Deliberate transitions can be handled through configuration. Either
they can be shipped in rpmfusion-release or fedora-repos. As for COPR,
the copr DNF plugin could grow optional functionality to add a drop-in
configuration file for this alongside the repo configuration. This
could be twiddled server side too by COPR itself, similar to what is
done with repo priorities and other features.
