I think this will be an essential feature of the model repository as we move forward. We are trying to present model authors with a common platform for the distribution and archiving of their models as they go through development and publication cycles. At some point we are going to want to provide some assurances to the community in terms of repository accessibility - things like uptime, backups, redundancy, etc. There is also a big question mark over the implications of the current geographical location of the model repository. For example, how will access scale when you start having tens, if not hundreds, of users around the world interacting with the repository on a regular basis? If things run too slow or access is a problem then people simply won't use the system. So while it makes sense to start out with less grand plans, I think any plan on moving the repository forward has to take these issues into account and discuss how they would be addressed in any future repository implementation.
