Um, no?

1) We'd just publish a repo.
2) Anyone can publish a repo. [1]
3) Cluttering up the main repos for fringe packages is not desired. I
cannot see the Devs going for this.
4) Those aren't stable releases, therefore they make little sense in the
main repos. Besides, they'd never make their way out of the [testing] repos.
