If this is open source, why not take advantage of all of the repositories

the lack of a backup, but a single point of failure waiting to happen.
When something goes wrong with kernel.org or the like, it isn't backup
tapes that get them online again quickly. I don't know enough about it,
but I know the general principle that if you have a problem you're likely
not the first to encounter it, and you usually don' t need to invent a
solution, but look into how it has been solved elsewhere.
This not about where to store code...
This about a system that does all the rule score manipulation, prepares
updates, etc, etc, etc
Software repositories don't handle this.
There is no similar processing going on elsewhere.
