Exactly. All I wanted to say here is that everybody has to decide on it's own how he or she is handling all that stuff and thus every central partition in stable/unstable or trusted/untrusted is subjective and more or less random. It is in no way of any help for me if someone set a package as "trusted" if I personally consider this person being a moron. In my opinion one of the first things that actually would be useful is that SUSE starts to be more open what their internal build infrastructure is concerned. Currently in my opinion it is unnecessarily complicated to do some things when building packages because information about SUSEs Autobuild is hidden behind the wall. I am pretty sure the better the build infrastructure is that is in public the more package are actually contributed. *hint*, *hint* ;-) If there is good infrastructure in the public and problems concerning quality _actually_ arise, the _next_ step is to find a mechanism to fix them. The current discussion seems to hunt a problem nobody knows whether it will ever exist. Again refer to SourceForge: It has a huge number of software, most of it being really useless stuff but this actually is no problem. --- At least I cannot see the problem.
