Just to be sure. With snappy it won't be possible to host an additional snappy repository myself, just like in the old apt days?

I do understand that the introduction of a config parameter like this would possibly compromise the reliability of the system. But there a some companies out there, that would have a huge problem with a repository that is not located within their IT. Would the only possible workaround be the direct distribution via SSH?
