Or maybe splitting repos into different areas of Core. So you could
have a CORE repo, and KDE repo, a GNOME repo, a OOo repo, a Java repo,
etc so you only have to look through the repos that concern your install
base.
eh-GADS! That almost sounds like the whole CORE - Extras idea that's
being floated ;-]
