[Pulp-dev] Importer and Distributor Modeling

[Brian Bouterse]

The current Django modeled Importer [0] and Distributor [1] allow for 
these objects to be associated or unassociated with a repository. I'm 
familiar with the use cases that motivate associating a 
importer/distributor with a repository, but what are the use cases 
around an Importer/Distributor to exist without being associated with a 
repo? Is there something that we already do which would require this?
