Currently we need to focus all our efforts in Mageias official repositories and avoid as much as possible having too many different repositories. Programs are usually not territory dependant.

Fiddling with many extra repositories is then what we do not want to hear about. This would even force people to be members or to visit the website to add the repo and then access te program they were looking for. So, that's just no to me.

The easiest it is for the user, the better. 

Now with globalization, you can find anywhere on the world someone from anywhere of the world. 

As an ex-pat I know what I'm talking about.
