Hello,

I've looked at our repositories.xml and the quality/status attributes
don't seem to be used very meaningfully.

That is, by quality:

core: gentoo [official]
stable: opentransactions (?) [official (?!)]
testing: hyprland-overlay, moexiami [both unofficial]
experimental: everything else
graveyard: unused

By status:

official: ago, alexxy, anarchy, andrey_utkin, cj-overlay, dilfridge,
emacs, EmilienMottet, fordfrog, gentoo, gnome, gnustep, graaff, guru,
haskell, java, jmbsvicetto, kde, libressl, maekke, masterlay, mschiff,
multilib-portage, musl, mysql, opentransactions, pentoo, pinkbyte,
qemu-init, qt, R_Overlay, rich0, riscv, rnp, ruby, science, sping,
swegener, tex-overlay, toolchain, ukui, ulm, vGist, voyageur, x11

unofficial: everything else


Which brings the significant question: are these attributes in any way
meaningful?  Is there a point in keeping them at all?  Should we set
some ground rules and make them used consistently?

Of them all, only "core" makes sense right now.  "stable" and "testing"
are used only by random user overlays, with no apparent features. 
Similarly, "official" is used by a mix of developer and ex-developer
repositories, developer and user project repositories, and a bunch of
user repositories with no clearly distinct features.
