+I don't think we need repositories to define bug priorities. If a
+package break the system, the bug report should mention it. And we can
+also have minor bugs in &quot;core&quot; packages not breaking anything. Should
+we fix them in a timely manner, before any critical bug on &quot;extra&quot;
+packages breaking useful applications ?
+
+&gt;&gt;<i> - Some packages can have a different support time. On Mandriva, &quot;Base

+</I>&gt;<i> Core is proposed to be largely &quot;base system &amp; components&quot;. Part of the
+</I>&gt;<i> idea is to make clearer, to everyone, which packages have an enhanced level
+</I>&gt;<i> of support.
+</I>&gt;<i> Support time is another (useful) question.
+</I>
+Why do we need two repositories for that ?
+
+&gt;&gt;<i> - Some packages have a lot of optional plugins, and we build them all,
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> adding a lot of build requires. With main/contrib separation we need
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> to add all the build dependencies to main, even if most of them are
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i> not runtime dependencies.
+</I>&gt;&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i>
+</I>&gt;<i> We will have to be more selective for core packages, to avoid this problem.
+</I>&gt;<i> Maybe &quot;suggests&quot;, or other features being added with rpm5.
+</I>
+Suggests on BuildRequires does not exists. And we need them to be
+installed for the build.
