Livna, freshrpms, rpmforge and atrpms don't already fill that niche?

"More controlled" looks, to me, like it means "without the horrible
dependancy breakages" - they're talking about better consistency checking
are the control described. By giving leaf packages more directly to
maintainers the "update" flipside of that should become "less controlled",
but also less flakey. And it looks like the non-leaf packages will farm
out more directly too, later.
