</I>>><i> NO.

</I>>><i> as for the question that started this thread:
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> "Repository question: where do we put non-free+tainted RPMs?"
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> It's simple, and even outlined in the mirrors_policy:
</I>>><i> <A HREF="http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=mirrors_policy">http://mageia.org/wiki/doku.php?id=mirrors_policy</A>
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> If there is a package that otherwise matches core or nonfree repos,
</I>>><i> but has a possible patent issue it ends up in tainted.
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i>
</I>>><i> As for splitting up tainted in tainted-core/tainted-nonfree,
</I>>><i> I dont think it's really worth it, and no-one really argued
</I>>><i> for it when we discussed the mirror layout...

That's what I've been saying at the beginning of this discussion
(before I dived into the argument with andre999)
