Until someone comes up with a sound plan for an LTS deliverable that
communicates expectations on quality, I don't see a reason to just
open up the trees for random people to update random packages whenever
they want to.

But if Jesse's koper idea becomes reality, then a randomly updated
neverending repository might very well be possible inside the scope of
kopers[1].  Though source distribution requirements will need to be
thought out for kopers.
