Sorry, but: lol

Packman used to be THE one stop shop for everything that mattered
besides the main Repo (by MAIN I mean the setup repos OSS and Non-OSS,
not OBS)

And today?

- Assault-Cube is in OBS games
- RawTherapee is in graphics
- Sometimes when asking for current Firefox one is linked to the OBS
mozilla-repo instead of Suse-Update (ok, not a Packman issue here)
- plus a whole bunch of others, sometimes even suspicious homebrew repos

To me, OBS is the exact opposite of what packman used to be:
- No quality assured
- various repos which hopefully add up to a runing system
- unclear what can be found where

While one used to need oss, non-oss, update and packman in the past,
there is the need for half a dozend other repos today. So what have you
been talking about when saying "find it in main repo"? Let me copy it again:

Right. So very right. And it is exactly what the Packman reorganisation
made reality.

I clearly vote to go back to the old approach: Packman as a high quality
one stop shop.
