Hosting directories for additional channels?

I'm curious if Channels has given any thought to hosting directories for "free" applications like Pluto or IMDb to name a couple?

There’s no plans to provide these thing natively as part of our product. These sources are unofficial and therefore not 100% reliable, in that we have no control over them. Because of this, we can’t ensure the quality we expect to serve our fans.

"free" applications like Pluto or IMDb

Hmm, have you seen an .m3u8 file or Docker for IMDb TV? I'd love to add those as custom channels too if it's possible.
