It's not irrelevant; you're just not reading it properly. You might |
| 10 |
notice that metadata.xml contains tags other than <herd>, like, say, |
| 11 |
<maintainer>. In the example that sparked this, <herd> is games and |
| 12 |
<maintainer> the individual dev who maintains it. Simple enough, no? |

A herd has always been a group of packages for as long as I can recall, |
| 15 |
which is about two years now. It's nothing new at all. Packages in that |
| 16 |
herd can be maintained by a developer or a project, or by the group of |
| 17 |
herd maintainers if there are no specific arrangements. |
