</div>Software Sources is something I've been meaning to redesign eventually,<br>
but I was putting it off because it wasn't as important as Ubuntu<br>
Software Center or Update Manager.<br>
<br>
Splitting it into two is an intriguing idea. It looks like the main<br>
awkward point would be the download server setting -- that's the thing<br>
that's most obviously shared between installations and updates.<br>

Unfortunately, all except the last of those wireframes is tiny, so I<br>
can't read them. Could you upload larger versions?<br>
<br>
Thanks<br>
