You can easily host and manage your own package repository. My point is that this apparent limitation is not in itself a strong enough reason to embark on NIX. Go fill your boots i…

It seems from my own upload that you are limited to one / email address. So yes you could just use a bunch of aliases, but I guess they're banking on most people only having access…
