me too, but I would say this is a real flaw.
Of course we could also introduce a versionable interface for this.

please note that the default repositories might not have an ID and hence 
won't be accessible
this way, but I am not sure about this and also need to have a closer 
look at it

agreed, whereas we should prefix them somehow in order to avoid naming 
conflicts, e.g.

yanel_data
yanel_ac-identities
yanel_ac-policies
yanel_res-configs

whereas we probably should use rather and underline to prefix, because 
the color is already used
by the "yanelrepo" protocol.
