Of course I'm a kernel guy and mostly an onlooker when it comes to the distribution. I wouldn't be surprised if the people who are doing the actual work of putting together the distro ended up taking the decision of putting more cool stuff in their own repository, grabbing it from external repositories. On the other hand, I wouldn't be surprised by a "move stuff into external repositories and out of the core distro" movement, either.
I am very curious which of the two will happen, though...
My guess is that the right answer is in between; that we have a common set of policies, build tools, CVS server,
Have you considering using subversion ?
universe of package names, release process, etc. (all the infrastructure that makes it nice to work together). However, the set of packages using this common infrastructure may be subdivided in various ways ("core" vs. various add-on package sets).
That's what I'd like to see. While I think we should support "some dude built a package in a haphazard way on their own system and put it on their web site," personally I want to have lots of RPMs available with higher standards than that.
If the infrastructure (cvs, build, etc.) and policies are replicable so people can host their own copy of it for their own package set, that's all the better.
