Unfortunately I don't think you actually got the point I was
trying to make.

No I'm not, and I have no objection to changes on the web site.  In
fact I think you are correct that if you start looking there to learn
how to use fedora tools you will be confused.  My point is simply that
livna is not the right place to look to learn how to add new programs
to fedora systems.  It just happens to have a few programs that are not,
due to policy reasons only, in the place you would normally use.

If you make the livna site seem technically different from the core
and extras repositories (a) it won't work because livna doesn't
duplicate things from those repositories that it needs for
dependencies, and (b) the users will be misled if they understand
it at all.
