+Can we please free ourselves from the burden/mentality of a "svn trunk" 
+workflow?

+borders tend to shring inwards.

+There cannot be anything like "package C is forbidden from Mageia", as long as 
+we embrace an 'open' attitude towards contributions. Let them build it, debug 
+it, maintain it and /host/ it in 3rd party repos. You can still reply "we're 
+sorry, but don't have the resources to support it in the long run. So it won't 
+hit the standard repos+releases yet." . Perfectly acceptable IMO.
+
+And, who knows, even the build of some exotic package could trigger a series 
+of bugs or dependencies that will return valuable feedback to the "core" 
+packages.
