Keep in mind they get more ad revenue the more clicks they get.

Also, we don't want to dictate when the SIGs do something, so they're
free to set their own schedules and releases.

Yes, they'll be additional repos. What you described is exactly one of
our target use-cases. Using gluster or ceph as backend storage for virt.
Granted, not all SIGs will be inter-operable, but most cases should be
documented.

Chrome/chromium is a completely separate headache because of the deps
and build tools used. If someone wanted to take that up as a
SIG/project, I'd be fine with it. I'd likely also call them a masochist,
but hey.
