Could be useful. You'd have to use caution in what URLs you reference, since it's pretty much executing arbitrary code. And, unless you were always on a trusted network including trusted DNS, you'd want to use HTTPS and a trusted CA list. At that point, it becomes less lightweight.
I know that the best option is a planet package, but that's a bit heavyweight for my current needs.
Would be good to have PLaneT support multiple repositories, such as organization- and project-specific ones.
If PLaneT supported multiple repositories, a side-effect is that the user's process of deploying via PLaneT could be made very lightweight for the non-public repositories.
