The hope was that it would be implemented per-urpmi-source, so that for
example if I was maintaining a bunch of desktops with 3rd-party
software, I could associate a company key with the company urpmi source,
and packages would be updated automatically (if I run urpmi --update
from cron).

PLF would also gain from this?

That's also a good thing, seen too many "cdbakeoven-1.8.9-5mdk doesn't
work on 9.0" when I have -4mdk in club for 9.0 and -5mdk in cooker
contrib ...
