+I suppose that's why nobody liked "supernumerary". 8)

+How about "segregated"? Oh, wait ...
+
+The problem is that in all languages, words that mean "not part of the
+group", "not one of us" or "not like us" all have negative
+connotations for cultural reasons.
+
+Perhaps we need an unrelated word that has meaning to Mageia, but
+infers uniqueness without being pejorative.
+
+I suggest calling it the "paris" repository, a place for unique and
+useful applications that cannot be placed in any other repository for
+whatever reason. Then perhaps any local repository of one-off packages
+could always be labeled "paris-local" by default.
