I'd rather have this bonkers layout *not* preserved in CentOS. Putting<br>
it all together in one repo (as was done for CentOS 6 and CentOS 7)<br>
has made things tremendously easier. The reason they're broken apart<br>
in RHEL is to allow charging people money for various aspects of RHEL.<br>
Or in the case of the "codebuilder" repo, dumb marketing purposes.<br>
<br>
Simplicity is key here, and having the unified repo makes it *much*<br>
easier to use CentOS and build software from it.<br>
