I am not using s-i-p, the tool was made to test some gui stuff and the 
yum api.
It is not meant to be some you click on a link on a web page and then 
you get the "crazy cracker repo" added to your setup and the latest 
rootkit installed without any questions asked, if you want this kind of 
features you have to install Windows :)

The idea was to have a way to give the user access to a featured list 
application, to be installed/removed in an easy way.

Ex.
The Game SIG could maintain an ini files with featured Game in Fedora, 
to make it easy for the users to install/remove these games.
