Well, openSUSE 11.0/11.1 use a remote hosted XML file which provides a list of repositories for addition, and also single-click "YMP" files for very easy repository addition.
This XML list includes my Emulators:Wine repository on the openSUSE buildservice for instance.
So perhaps they should look at and evaluate how openSUSE does it ;)
I'm very aware of the YMP / OneClickInstall stuff, and it will be discussed. I already have an indirect link to it, maybe I'll add a direct one, too.
As for the points listed, we sometimes adopt a "do not care" attitude, because, well, users do not want it to be overdesigned or just don't care.
Users don't care about security and dll hell until it bites them, either.
