It's a legitimate discussion that's not breaking any rules, so there's no reason to close the thread.

I don't think it's fair to compare that situation to submitting over an official repo. We would have complete and total control over our submission to a default cydia repo, and no one else would be able to stop that. The repo for ATV2 that gave us issues was not a standard repo for Cydia and was only included by default by Seas0nPass.
Bigboss and modmyi might have a ton of ads, but they're very trustworthy sources of software, and there's no reason to think of them any differently than one would for a default repository for any other OS, like Debian. If control was ever an issue then it would have become a major event by now, considering all the thousands of software packages already hosted by them. At the very least, it wouldn't be fair to judge them the same as that ATV2 repo (the awkwardTV.org repo, IIRC). In my mind, not having a package in the default repos actually gives us less control.
Not that I will lose any sleep over this. I'm fine with us being in our own Cydia repo and not in the others by default, but if control is the only reason we're not in there, then I think this deserves another look.
