I would like the views of the community - what do you think? Should we spend energy and time reducing these repos? Or should we focus on other things?
You should focus on making it easier to submit applications into Extras. This will make more people do that. The more steps you add to the submission process, the more people will use third-party repos. For example, insistence on auto-builder usage probably makes a lot of people use their own repos.
