[opensuse-project] Creating a Live USB stick suggests use of a package only in a home project?

All, I did not know where to post this, so -project as my default. Per: http://en.opensuse.org/SDB:Live_USB_stick#Put_ISO_on_vfat_partitioned_USB_st... if you don't want to reformat your thumb drive a user should install: http://software.opensuse.org/package/live-fat-stick or http://software.opensuse.org/package/live-usb-gui Both are only available in a home project from what I see. I did a quick test of live-fat-stick yesterday and it worked fine for me, but I don't think our documentation should be pointing at home projects? Especially ones like this where it seems all you are installing is a shell script. The script could do all kinds of nefarious activities and not have anyone but the project owner looking at it at all? Are there any guidelines? Should we ask that live-usb-gui get pushed to factory (assuming that adds some security protection)?

It should not, but cyberorg is creating Li-f-e iso, so, I guess we can trust him. ...

It would be nice to have them in official repos, specially that provides some overview and prevention of accidents like Bumblebee bug described here: http://forum.digitalpowered.net/index.php?showtopic=40920
