Staudey Oh, so this changed since the "A New Voyage" blog post?
Yes. As was mentioned, supporting a user repo was something Josh really wanted to do, and he wrote that post. At this point in time, we don't plan to support it. When we adopt Aeryn tooling, we can take another look at if that would be feasible.
Personally if someone wants to maintain a package, I would rather they submit it to the official repo where it can be reviewed and tested, rather than publishing their own repo. The amount of packaging work they do would be the same.
