I think that sounds ok, though details of how package versioning will work may 
need some fleshing out up front.  Maybe one question to answer first:  what 
level of stability and trustworthiness is expected from the universe?

I'd say a git commit hash for versioning could give some of both.  Stability in 
that external repos can progress as fast as they want, but the universe 
metadata should still point to a valid version.  Trustworthiness in that it's 
known a universe maintainer reviewed the code associated with the hash.  
Problem is that a git commit hash is per-repository, but per-package versioning 
might be needed (i.e. limit of one package per repo w/ this scheme).
