I like the idea of being able to connect my phone to different software repos. Play Store would be one among many. I think then there would soon be curated repos for well behaved apps that don't abuse push notifications and background abilities.

That is basically what f-droid allows you to do, add different repos. Though google play doesn't provide a repo that fdroid, obviously.

Alternative app stores are not a problem on Android. There are lots of them. Alternative way to deliver push notifications is a problem. Currently, to solve it in a satisfactory fashion you need an alternative ROM to connect to a different push service.
