Hi all,

Is there any interest these days in developing and maintaining a
separate repo spec [1]? Among other uses, it would help in describing
standardized repo features related to metadata/layout.conf settings
allowing devs to reference a single, canonical source in order to
support repo/profiles features.

The current spec doesn't define many repo specific features leading to
people jamming all sorts of conditional features in metadata/layout.conf
via profile-formats and other entries, none of which is defined in the
current spec.

Mostly I'm asking because I'm tired of trying to support a pseudo-spec
and am quite close to dropping pkgcore's support for the few
profile-formats features it tries to enable. 

Thanks,
Tim
