Seriously, AC is already distributed through dozens of such channels (e.g. Debian/Ubuntu, Arch, Fedora,...) and I don't think anyone here has a problem with that. But Apple's approach has always been and will always be customer and developer lock-in. And I can't really see why we should help and even pay them to keep up that system.
