Examples of matrix columns (assuming the rows lists the repos): paid professional or volunteer maintained? (E.g., Fermilab/CERN has paid professional staff assigned to SL) Timeliness of updates (e.g., only TUV based, or fixes/extensions before TUV)? Strict separation of production RPMs from beta RPMs? Particular emphases? A matrix or a similar data structure would save all of the time digging through a threaded discussion. Yasha Karant
