In case the openSUSE Foundation works out, we may should think about to move 
the openSUSE Build Service to an external place, controlled by the Foundation.

if we succeed on this, we can merge current openSUSE OBS and packaman OBS into
one instance. I think this would help a lot here, even when we might still 
want to keep some packages in seperate projects ...

This is something what we should discuss, after there was a decision on the
Foundation plans ...
