+I can give the example I had on Mandriva: I did some work on 'rpm'
+package itself, but since breaking this pakage would have lock the whole
+Bs I'd prefer to first have it tested by some people.
+This directory is in this case the perfect place. At this time,
+"testing" media did not exists thought.
+
+Another example could be the XFCE live Cd done by some people in past,
+hosted on distrib-coffee as mandriva where not able to push it on thier
+mirror (this issue get solved latelly).
+
+Pushing something on the mageia Mirror need some control. The people
+place give the opportunity to contributors to distribute somethings w/o
+needing "super user" privileges, but with a clear "unofficial" state.
+
+I am pretty sure some people will find usage to it.
