Cool. >I think the real reason for this evaluation and push into other services is >that it is perceived that the user repositories don't add much value, >especially when you consider all of the features that could be happening >from them such as triggering CI jobs based on these, and self-service >collaboration. I use them all the time to keep my personal patch queues synced across multiple machines (or even on one), and to collaborate with others on my team. I think if we advertised more how useful they are for this sort of thing it would help people work more efficiently. (And maybe tweaked the initial setup procedure just a smidge to reduce "now edit this non-existant file" sort of stuff.) >Yes, the user-repo deletion is a feature and it is currently broken.

Add an option for delete a repo, and have it say "please email bkero", for now?
