I think it would be best to enlarge the packages that belong in the main distro. Since openSUSE became open source this really should be possible (one team focus on packaging another one putting the packages together for a new distro).
No way. Now you are digging the security hole. What you have now is a fairly secure distribution with a set of core packages. Every repository you add from the build service is up to your trust.
I see that as a security policy. The big point is that I trust the core distribution. If you now add more packages to the core distribution, it will suffer in quality and security unless you increase the core team to handle the increased number of packages.
Instead it would be rather good to add some review policy for the build service, independent of the core distribution. That review team would give some quality and security certificates to packages.
