Generally a package from the official distribution is trusted because it maintains a certain quality standard (in most cases) because it is (should be) more tested from Novell and the community in theory while that might be not true for every single package.
Well. I could raise the same question for gimp-unstable.
People who want stable GIMP will use gimp.
Adventurous people would want to use latest gimp-unstable. Official release cannot provide it.
gimp-unstable: IMHO that one is easier. Providing a moving target via the distribution is not the best idea and moving that to the buildservice is perfectly fine given that there is at least one (stable) gimp package on it. In the jabberd example there is no replacement or stable version. General thoughts: But still my concerns above are still valid. I have a similar problem with the mozilla repo in the buildservice while I _think_ it's a bit accepted in the community. But since it moved from ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/projects/mozilla to the buildservice it lost some of the trust although nothing really changed. The rating stuff in the buildservice also doesn't work out (yet maybe). I know that only buildservice users can rate projects and packages at the moment but given that I'm the only one! rated the mozilla project at all I wonder if it's just bad or people don't care.
