That's exactly what *must* change: these mechanisms have been faulty for 
years, driving the Mandriva distribution into a shrinking audience. The Edge-
IT people worked endless hours to keep the distro going, but the community had 
been turning its back on it. Consider also the 3rd-party repositories, the 
groups around Mandriva. Something has been going wrong, and that's not only an 
issue of the Mandriva company management/marketing.

Mageia should not become a copy of the Mandriva model. It has to be an 
evolution, not carrying the burden of past mistakes.
