Yes. F-droid allows that, you can have multiple repositories and ... a few of those even exist :)
I'm using that with 2.0 (or rather with F-droid Basic, but I noticed Basic was updated to the same that is described in article, but a while ago). It works just fine.
Incorrect title since the link is only about the War of 1812. There were several other invasions of what became Canada, such as 1775, the Fenians, and the Pig War.
At one of our big Nokia meetings back then, one of the board members, quite elderly, joked enviously that all the imagery in our advertising and internal documentation showed young people ''jumping over things'' while holding a mobile phone. It was a heady time of paradigm shifts from phoning a location's land line in order to reach someone, to actually phoning them directly (call the person, not their location). So much of that imagery was very prescient.
This is a fallacy of composition. the tradeoffs vary. The equal-area projection has zero (or close to) size distortion globally, at the expensive of shape inaccuracy as you approach the polar regions; Antarctica looks particularly wrong if you know anything about its coastline. But most people don't, and nobody really lives in Antarctica besides penguins.
It's not my favorite projection visually speaking but I can see why they would go with it since much of human history/ society/ economy etc. is a function of available land and so its kinda natural that people mentally prioritize size over shape. Shape matters a great deal too, but that's more at the local level. Nobody uses a global map for specific navigation or survey purposes outside of highly technical things like satellite navigation etc that occupy a negligible fraction of humans, and who as technicians are going to employ multiple projections rather than a single generic one.
