+Not really, or not much.
+( or at least, it was not apparent and public for outsiders ).
+
+Things got in main because something required it for BuildRequires. The
+only exception were when someone decide to move it ( subversion, nginx,
+django, catalyst ( because someone said &quot;web 2.0 is something we should
+support&quot; )) and that no one told &quot;this should be reverted&quot;.
+
+In practice, the divide was done several years ago, and the rest just
+got there for mechanical reasons. The only case of a refused package to
+go to main was network-manager, refused by fcrozat. And this caused lots
+of issue for building kde network-manager extension, and rendered the
+package less useful for kde users. Some people didn't like this, and the
+decision will likely change soon.
+
+And some pretty big packages ended in main ( like the whole java stack )
+when no one in mandriva could maintain it ( as the gcj bug I gave
+showed ).
+
+So if Mandriva controlled what went into main, no one gave me directives
+when I received the privileges to run rpmctl ( ie to move package to
+main ).
