The workflow as proposed before only included two repos (collections 
from 1st and 3rd were actually merged in one repo), which would mean 
this 500-odd perl module collection would be included (after being 
developed in scloX-testing) into scloX-release. And I'd expect the 
prefix would actually distinguish it from rh-perl5xx collection.

My main concern with remi's way is how would we create collections 
depended on RHSCL rebuilds? The collections are separated from their 
essence anyway, so I don't see a strong reason to separate them into two 
repos. With one common repo we'd also safe troubles with having one 
repository enabled, while another is not (en thus seeing broken deps).

What are advantages of separate repos for RHSCL downstream and 
additional-stable collections?
