big -1 on this, that would be even more confusing.

The community repos stand out from any other repos because:

- there are part of the installation docs, and=20
- because they have been maintained for several years now.
- they are non-affiliated

The fact that we don't vote on them is really a technicality that we =
never addressed (lacked of time, lack of clear policy etc).

if we can't resolve this then I will be in favor of just listing source =
downloads.
