Yeah you pointed that out to me before on IRC (It was actually me,
a _long_ time ago, when I was starting out. I forgot I did that:

That said, dropping a bunch of packages from a repo is also kinda
tedious. I have delete the files and run repo-remove while repose will
just do the right thing itself.

I picked this project up as an excuse to learn how pacman's internals
work, but stuck with it because of the performance and scriptablity
improvements.
