I'm deliberately trying to scare off people using "red"
packages. While for the last years the packages were mostly non-"red",
the "bleeding" repo is intended for packages that are supposed to be
able to fall apart.

Maybe instead of renaming the danger area we should use more of the
testing part (yellow) instead. I stopped using it since I abused it
for RHEL5's replacement packages.

So all in all this area does need a redesign, but the outcome should
still have a danger-do-not-touch area for experimental builds :)
