The usage of the BuildService is very complicated for the end user, as multiple repositories need to be added to get a recent installation.
Actually I'd rather have better support for multiple repositories in the installation tools. The mirror operators will not be happy if we have lots of repositories with identical rpms.
My suggestions would be to add a typo of meta repository, where the packes are only stored, but cannot be built. - You have a meta repository, which has no built feature - Packages are either imported into it or exported from the original repositories. - Conflicts are not resolved, but only marked in the original and the meta package. - Adding packages should be easy.
Reason: Some all-in-one packages without the PacMan problems.
You can actually already do that with aggregates, but as I said, please think of the mirrors...
