Hi Ed, No, I haven't put any of this into practice yet.

This is correct, AFAIK.

I'm not sure what kind of security is available to prevent just anyone from pushing packages to a release repo. We'll need to look into that. I think Thorsten suggested in a different email that it would be best to have no default, so that packages aren't sent anywhere unless the user explicitly specifies a repository. I think I agree with that approach.
