There are two different main concepts proposed for OF:
1. Simply maintain a list of packages, hosted elsewhere.
2. Continue to execercise some central control onto contained
packages, making the package maintainers potentially bound to some
majority- or admin-decisions.
For 2., two subvariants have been proposed:
2.1. In addition to the controled packages, maintain a list of
independent packages, checked only for some formal structural
conformance, which are primarily hosted elsewhere. OF contains
'copies' of the external repositories, synchronized at least at
release time. The package maintainer has exclusive control, if OF
decides to fork the package, a different package name must be
used.
2.2. Only the controled packages are contained in OF.
I am under the impression that some of my previous comments on this thread have
been misinterpreted as suggesting version 1.
