+I used easyurpmi for a while, mainly to add PLF sources, or to specify a
+specific mirror when there was some mirroring problems in MDV (hdlist
+not synced with repository content for instance).
+
+As noted previously, the PLF issue does not hold for MGA.
+
+It is probably worth improving the way the current media manager is
+working than add yet another tool to the distrib.
+
+We could have for instance checkboxes when importing media sources with:
+
+- select mirror: by default let the media manager find a mirror for you,
+else select one in a list
+- include tainted: by default disable access to tainted repository. Warn
+the user about the content of those repositories.
+
+The main point is that people often do not know about the media manager.
+Maybe a button to that tool directly in the update app would give it
+more visibility, instead of looking into it on the package manager menu.
+Or maybe it should be an app on its own.

Well, it is "an app on its own", just look at Mageia Control Center.
