+Merging &quot;codecs&quot; and &quot;firmware&quot; into &quot;tainted&quot; makes sense.
+
+So &quot;games&quot; and &quot;extra&quot; gets merged back into core (except for non-free games
+of course), won't this make an enormous repos?
+
+I think it was better to have a separated games repos, as it will quickly
+get big, and is likely to have frequent backports (as gamers generally want
+to have the latest release).
+
+Would it be possible to have a separate games sub-project, that won't freeze
+to make releases with the rest of mageia?
+Instead it would be an always updating repos which is compiled with the
+latest stable release (or even the previous, if it is possible to have
+packages that install correctly on both).
+The project would only have a &quot;testing&quot; and &quot;release&quot; (or another name to
+avoid confusion with other &quot;release&quot; repos which are frozen), this way you
+could quickly have new versions of all the games, if they don't need
+bleeding-edge libraries (I think they rarely does).
