You should probably ask the Exherbo developers, not me. |

I don't understand why this would happen. Perhaps I was not clear |
| 15 |
enough. |

If we support a central repository with core/base features, and curate |
| 18 |
some useful repositories (with code review), the users would likely |
| 19 |
mostly have programs from the curated repositories, and zlib from the |
| 20 |
core/base repository. If they are using unreviewed things not |
| 21 |
officially reviewed and supported by us, they would be on their own, |
| 22 |
just like expert powerusers are today. |
