I've described that in Arch part. Arch has several official repositories [0] and AUR is not one of them. I've also mentioned Debian.

"many 3rd party distributions" is many distributions - Debian, Arch, Gentoo, Fedora, Mint, etc. It is often cited as inefficient but it provides choice. And if there was only one distribution it would create too much pressure on maintainer not to sell its users.

"by users to users" is general description of distribution. I would be surprised if distribution maintainers does not use distribution they work on.

I've created my own addon and shared it [0] - just a few lines. From user to users - just because someone may find it useful.

I understand it is hard to maintain community and trust. Anyone can create distribution but real working distribution is a lot of work. But it should start somewhere. I review addons I install, I can share it.
