By default, ''libdnf5'' allows packages to switch vendors if a repository provides a different version or release of a package with a different <code>VENDOR</code> tag that satisfies a transaction. While this can sometimes resolve dependencies automatically, it can lead to unexpected behavior in multi-vendor setups (e.g., mixing packages between official Fedora Project, RPM Fusion, Copr, or third-party corporate repositories).
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?
