[wp-hackers] Plugin DB and RSS Feed...

[rmanalan.2869544 at bloglines.com]

Is this going to be the "WordPress Team" supported/endorsed plugin repository?
 I'm a bit reluctant to post my plugins there unless I get word from someone
on the WP team supporting or endorsing this repository.  Otherwise, what's
stopping someone else from creating yet another repository.
