I like the idea, but I wonder how that would work with the package
management model in *nix.

I mostly use it as a way to find new applications... I then go to the
website and find out if the version in the SWI is the latest.  My experience
with it is that it gets out-dated rather fast.

While on on the subject of thing I don't like about the SWI... I also don't
like how it sorts by last updated.  I really don't need to see the previous
update of GNUstep-back (for example).  In my opinion, it should just replace
the entry and move it to top, so that you can't ever have the same
application showing in the same page.  You can sift through versions inside
the application's page (like you can already do now).
