Well it would be really nice if that would be reflected in the
proposal, especially that the current procedure is temporary
until further infrastructure is in place.

I just looked at my mail archives, we had the same discussion
already back in June, see
http://mail.opensolaris.org/pipermail/pkg-discuss/2008-June/004026.html
For five months nothing happened, then somebody came up with a
new proposal starting all over like the first and we have the
same discussion all over again with the same arguments coming
once again to the same conclusion. It's really ridiculous.

We could have had this five months ago if someone had set up the
technical infrastructure. That would have been even better.
