As for your question, I am not sure how to proceed, we should probably remove any site that doesn't distribute packages for now, and see how the whole channel portal war plays out - I didn't anticipate that this would explode as quickly as actual channels, so it is best to see where it takes us before supporting one site over another. So, I recommend removing pearadise, and only putting an explicit link to the channel portion of upear, and not to the whole portal. This is a stopgap until we wrap our brains around the issue better.
