Tend to agree. The main reason not to would be if they were |
| 18 |
maintained by different groups and we wanted to control access. If |
| 19 |
"news" were about PR that might be a real issue, but the GLEP news is |
| 20 |
more about package notifications, and the security team probably also |
| 21 |
needs tree access as well, so at least at present I'm not sure I see |
| 22 |
the need to separate them. GLSA state is also pretty closely |
| 23 |
associated with tree state so it really seems like it should be in the |
| 24 |
tree. |

If we do go the route of a machine-readable external-repos.conf or |
| 27 |
something like that then perhaps it would make sense to have the |
| 28 |
client just sync this directly, rather than gluing it all together |
| 29 |
before sending it to them. That would also simplify things. |
