It is conventional for repository release packages to be inside their 
repositories so that repository configuration updates can be published and 
applied via the same mechanism that is used for ordinary packages.  Even if 
this is a capability that Puppet rarely uses, it seems ill-considered to 
give it up.  The desire for consistency could be as well served by moving 
the other release packages into their repos, or by making the release 
packages consistently  available in both places.
