I did not claim otherwise.

Yes that's what I was taling about (create it at compose time). It
gets to the client the same way the packages get to the client
(downloaded from the mirrors via HTTP or FTP).

No it isn't.

This is not about a webportal .... just some files on the mirrors in
addition to the existing metadata.

No this will be done using a native frontend ... did you even read the
mail you are replying to?

You entirely missed the point. So I will try again one more time the
applications == rpms currently in the repo. There is no submission
process other then the usual package review which we always had.

So please take some time to read other peoples mails before replying
and base your answers on that, thanks.
