These no longer are individual projects and to some degree never were. I'm not doing the QA myself. You may have noticed that I include packages made by 4 different people, as I mentioned before and as was cleverly cut away in your reply, I only have to look at all the changes made by others, build the packages and sign them. In the same sense your point is that Linus doesn't scale either. > > > A single individual packaging hundreds of > > > packages and releasing new packages (upgrades of packages in Fedora Core > > > even!) without an open QA/Testing process. > > > > *You* do not have to use a repository if it replaces or upgrades > > packages from Fedora Core. > > Still I'm free to advocate repositories which do not fork Fedora Core > development and hence protect newbies from running into trouble. "Fork Fedora Core development" ? "Protect newbies from running into trouble" ? In the previous paragrph you stated you don't judge these 3rd repositories as bad.
