Another aspect of this is the ability to view the catalog content for a restricted repository (support, extra) without having the ability to install packages from that repository.

The problem with this is that you don't want to require the user to get a key/cert in order to have this level of access.

That could be accomplished now through some creative Apache proxy configuration. The main problem is figuring out how make that "not suck" for the user.
