I think it can also be used, not for any bzr internals, but just to
provide information. That is, there could be a page (read-only) or
existing one, providing repository description and contact
information.

And it likely has performance penalties. For example, if you want to
obtain all the repositories that 'show_in_source_menu', with one table
it can be done at once with a simple select. The other way would mean
as many selects as activated VCS (which is not a lot).

OK, that makes more sense.

OK.
