Description
Our organization has firewalls that quarantine certain packages that may be flagged as malicious. This returns a 403 error and causes the a repository sync to be incomplete. Currently the workaround is to use the "on_demand" mirror policy but it does not stop the error from happening if the quarantined package is attempted to be installed.
A possible solution would to allow filtering of certain package by name. Otherwise an option to continue past packages that are broken.
The alternatives considered is the workaround mentioned before with changing the mirror policy in the remote object to "on_demand"

Research direction
Start by tracing repository sync handling for quarantined packages that return 403 errors, and compare it with the existing remote mirror policy behavior. Define how package-name filtering or continuing past broken packages should work, including what a completed sync should report when a package is skipped.
