Please don't personalize things. It's not 'mine', and it's not really a
solution. I'm simply pointing out that it's literally impossible to
satisfy both possible update policies with a single unitary repository.
We either have to make it clear which policy we use and which policy we
don't, and hence which theoretical user base we are not targeting, or
take on extra work and try to satisfy both. I am not declaring myself in
favor of, or against, any particular option. I'm just pointing out the
parameters of the question.
