Of course not! I only mean to not add this repo automatically to the 1.7 and 
postpone the decision for the hackfe...eeting (where I plan to put all my time 
and forces into this task).

If you add the repo manually, you know what you do and you can remove it if we 
decide to put only 2.0 plugins there. But if I add it now to the "Add 3rd 
party repos" list, and users around will install it, we won't have such choice 
and will be forced to keep mixed plugins in the repo.

Actually I must admit I haven't put any labour into the new repo yet, I'm 
going to join the developers in Lisbon... :(
