[SOLVED] Why separate repos ? Why not use FeeBSD repos directly ?

GhostBSD already offers many features that vanilla FreeBSD doesn't. Namely a Live mode using which users can test their hardware, a set of pre installed apps, a network manager for easy wifi connectivity, IPFW enabled by default.
So my question is why did you decide to create separate repos for GhostBSD ? While talking with you in this forum I got the idea that you are already under too much stress for maintaining GhostBSD. So if you decide to switch to vanilla FreeBSD repos don't you think your workload will get reduced ?
Again, the features that GhostBSD offers makes it an attractive choice for desktop users who are interested in using FreeBSD so I don't think GhostBSD is going to lose any userbase if it switches to FreeBSD repos.
