But that's part of what I found interesting about arch. Looks like this
model might be better suited for this distributed style of development. 

Also I was not exclusively referring to the VM sources here - I think
that it could be used as a general (ST) repository. I don't know STORE
but it seems like the model the arch people are aiming at is quite
useful for a world where you have one image but many sources of code.
See the Linux example I was quoting - that's somewhat similar (e.g., one
kernel but many developers).

Cheers,
