If package provide some basic modules and also utilities for user to
manage update "channels" or repo in clean way, why not? As was mentioned
early many software do the same. Although we do not ship any external
yum repos in rpm there clear way for users how to add others. And it may
be much more security breach.

So, in my mind plowshare just must clearly state what it doing and
provide described way to control such process for user (see and manage
repos added, enabled/disabled and so on). Off course that should be
installed somewhere under user $HOME...
