You, as administrator with root priviliges, you're the one who should say - this package is OK for my family, this is not... Same for TV regulations - you have remote, you're the best regulator!!! When I was young, my parents locked living room if they thought I have enough TV or there's something wrong they don't want to let me see. One month ago I've read interview with Czech broadcast regulation office boss and it was wonderful - he said - Internet never was intended as free/open medium, we have to regulate it (we is Europe Union) as companies broadcasting over Internet have advantage over that regulated. Isn't better to not regulate them instead of regulating Internet??? So please, prepare these packages, put them to the repository (not default in comps) - if there's good summary/description, it's admin/parent responsibility!
