b) Keep our repository layout as simple as possible
At the moment we have official repos for i686 and overlay repos for x86_64 and multilib on top of those. That's ok and the best way to do it at the moment, but not really neat for the final solution. I'd suggest to merge everything needed by a) into our core/opt/xorg repos and add only _one_ additional repo, probably called 'lib32', for the compatibility libraries. If we must have one repo for 32bit compatibility it should be called compat32. But I disagree it's not hard to have coe-32 xorg-32 opt-32 contrib-32 as jaeger has now. What do you mean with hard? From a technical point of view it's not a big issue to have three repos instead of one, but it's an issue. You have to create the repos, add a user group for each repo, manager user for that group etc. But the main point is a different one: IMO most users will _not_ need the multilib feature, therefore the idea is to keep the impact of it as minimal as possible, or better, to move the stuff that is needed for it mostly out of the way. And in this sense having six repos instead of three is a big issue ;) s/three/four/

Hard meaning not that difficult, but perhaps it would be simpler to have 1 repo to overlay in prt-get.conf far less effort to include 1 instead of 4.
