Bad idiomatic usage ... it should parse like, "we don't want outside
repositories to be seen at all as official anything to do with FDP."

Still awkward.  How about:

* Because of concerns over support, availability, redundancy, and
security, we don't want non-FDP doc or source repositories to be seen as
"officially" connected to the project.  For example, if someone's SCM
gets compromised and a rootkit trojan is loaded into document tarball
... well, bad things could happen.

Hope that is clearer,
