Stephan already replied, and yes your statement is false. The official difference is that main packages are officially supported. By supported understand: - QA team will reply if you have problem with it, - Mandriva will officially provide security updates during X month after the release. Having said that, I am not sure QA team is able to answer to everything related to main media, the location of a package is often an arbitrary choice. If a package is usefull, it is moved into main. The usefullness of a package is hard to define, if it was me openlad would go into contrib, svn and darcs into main. Fortunaly, I don't have to decide :)
