I.e. kind of like the original /opt/sfw?
If any "unbundled" (not in /release, or /extra) code is to be
deliverable into /usr (as opposed to /opt), then we may get into
registry issues. (Well, IPS' exclude dependencies could be used to
manage conflicts, to some degree, but perhaps only if repos can figure
these out automatically, and since we're talking about multiple repos, I
think implementing that would get complicated.)

We obsolete the package in SFW, and the contrib package
has an optional dependency on the obsolete version in
SFW.
