I started a thread/discussion with the SUSE folks about that when openSUSE started. I was asking them whether it would be possible to do some refinements in YaST2, to have it fetch a list of repositories from, say, opensuse.org and propose them to the end-user as additional repos.
Actually, we were working on this functionality for 10.1 but didn't have time to finish it. The current .repo/.channel thread gives us quite good input for an actual implementation for 10.2
It became pretty clear that it wouldn't be possible, because of ridiculous court rulings in the US and Germany (e.g. the Heise case), where "linking" to a resource that provides a package that under certain circumstances and/or jurisdictions would be.. well.. "attackable" in court, is already sufficient for potential trouble.
So you won't see SuSE/Novell offering such external links. However, we will support a standard way of repository linking in the future.
