Yes, it would be possible, and it has been done for certain core
activities.  However the advantage of .xo files are that they require no
configuration of yum, and they work also when Sugar is used on platforms
that don't have yum.

This may be somewhat naive, but would it possible to manipulate yum to allow
"yum install sugar-activity-name"? I guess it would mean packaging  the
contents of each .xo file as an app and setting up a server somewhere..

I know I got pretty irritated with debian packaging a while ago, would this
be lots of overhead?
