Mainstream Developers Repository

[Usama Akkad]

Wa alaikum alsalam,
Bilal this is different from backports. for example Filezilla and Deluge
have no problem have more recent release on windows than Linux. You
already trust the developers of such applications. Why not help them
reach the users directly under your supervision as Ubuntu.

You might say any one can create such a repo. Yes but it would hardly be
in the Ubuntu way.

I'm not talking about packages that might break the system, like gnome
or Xorg. It's just some  application that you might get from developer
website to download and run instantly.
