Hi,

I did not want to start a discussion about splitting up of the apps 
repository. I know that this is already happening and I think that it's 
a good idea.
The point I'm talking about is the introduction of a namespace for the 
new app repositories. As some of you pointed out that it won't improve 
the UX and everybody knows how to use the search I consider this 
proposal to be rejected.
