We are no company that has to be concerned with selling its product in some 
strange country with some strange laws.
So why should one community have another community to build the packages that 
may not be sold in the before named strange country?
Let's devide the repos in those packages, that can be distibuted everywhere 
and those that can't and let the mirror maintainers chose if or if not they 
are willing to mirror the second one.

And if you are suggesting not to provide all those packages (which are mostly 
multimedia I think), I'm not with you. I do want a distribution, that can play 
my music and videos and so on without having to build the software for 
myself...
