I vote for 2. 3 is bad because you have to wade your way through too much stuff
just to find programs; also, there is no separation of sources and binaries. 1
is bad because it doesn't work. Why burden one guy with so much work? Why rely
on one guy's time (and machine) to get PD programs through to everyone?
2 is great. I can just picture all that code coming through... No more bottlenecks.
