You still don't get it, right? Beryl was OFFICIAL. Official Beryl, a
fork, but an OFFICIAL project. Same as other forks are "official"
meanwhile it's core developers are in.

Maybe you don't like to hear that Beryl was official. Also, I want
remember you that Compiz wasn't also "included by default" on any
distro. And if Feisty took it as by default, there's Sabayon who did
just the same but for Beryl.

Now, the only difference is that Compiz will stay as only-kernel (and
avoid the beryl one) but, can you say just exactly the same for
CompComm, kiba-doc, screenlets...?

Also, I've never said what should be hosted on repos but you thought I
was refering ONLY to core, which, as I've pointed you, it's not
correct at all.
