   Thanks for your answer, Bill!  IOW the two repositories aren't, or   
   soon won't be, able to complement each other.   
      
   Mageia becoming Mandriva Free?  That sounds like it would be a good   
   thing, at least for me as an end user.  Ongoing development by folks   
   who know what they're doing, plus all the packages from the Mandriva   
   repository.
