I just thought if the new project should be just an extension of
Factory or also have "backports" for older distros.

But since we cannot _really_ test the "backports", I think "contrib"
will focus of being an extension
for "Factory".

The advantages (of being just Factory extension) is it will give us
more focus & perhaps more stability.
Disadvantages - is that users of current distro's will be unable to
help us BETA-test.
  This means that regular users will join BETA testing of "contrib"
just in 11.1, but it is OK, because we won't likely to have too many
packages by then.

Any opinions ?
