10 Some things. For users, the main difference is that their repositories
11 are central and can be grown in a modular manner. Their repositories
12 would likely be amalgamations of our curated and reviewed
13 repositories, and some more obscure ones from specific areas they are
14 interested in. This is very similar to what we have today, save for
15 the public user repositories. A central index, as pointed out by Zac,
16 would ideally be Accompanying the public repositories. Via this hub,
17 users could review each other's ebuilds, and so on.
18
19 For our central repositories, the main difference would be having more
20 repositories, to ensure that we are as modular as possible, so that
21 users can more easily e.g. pick and choose external repositories
22 instead of what we suggest and recommend, or completely get rid of
23 components they don't need or want.
