I agree with monsierp here, person-level stuff should not be in
the official repo.
Also note that "not in the main repo" does not mean "non-public".
People (and projects) can always publish their version of the
tree somewhere else.
I personally even dislike the project branches, but those I am
more willing to accept.

PS: Call me a pessimist, but every time I see "if it's used with
caution", I think: yeah, but it won't.
