Maybe you could have a "core" repo. Core will be the packages for a
bare distro. The completely naked basic distro. Kind of Mageia +
drakes + drivers + basic desktop. Not any "regular" application like
GIMP.  Pretty basic.

This core must be managed / touched / modified / updated only by a
"selected" group of developers. Because this core would be the spine
of the whole distro, the naked OS. This would ensure the stability of
the system because only pros and / or well
experienced-with--enough-merits developers will touch the system guts.

And you could have other repo for all the rest of the software.

Cheers!
