I agree this is an option; however, I think there's an important
distinction between the two. Having channels reifies the concept of
different repositories and rallies groups of users around a single
target.
E.g. I've seen several people in this thread mention they had already,
or were trying to, package Firefox (myself included). Had there been an
official non-libre channel, this work might not have been duplicated.
