+1. This will also make it easier to move packages from community to extra and vice-versa. We'll lose the commenting capability on the community packages, but I don't think its a great loss. It'll also give greater visibility to the [community] repo, and as a side effect allow us to search across all the repos from one box, which we currently don't have. -- Abhishek
