I don't think we have plans for any larger changes in dak at the moment
(CCed debian-dak@ in case I forgot something).

For the developer repositories we would need to setup a mirror network
and eventually implement some remote-management facilities to create new
suites, remove packages and so on. The latter task should be fairly easy
given we already have support for *.dak-commands files, but I don't
think it's enough for a SoC project.
