That's not what I meant. Obviously we need additional packages in
other repositories and that will be true as long as there is any policy
that might exclude any contribution to a centrally managed repository.
The question is, why do we need/want different versions of the
same-named packages, or packages that provide different versions of the
same files that can overwrite each other based on conditions we can't
control? There probably is a good reason to want this - I just can't
think of it right now.

<tt>That's easy:</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>(this is example, has no reflection to current state ...)</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>EPEL provides xmms-1.2.10-1.i586.rpm - but without MP3, WMA,
AAC ...</tt><br>
<tt>DAG provides </tt><tt>xmms-1.2.9-1.rf.i586.rpm - with all those
beasts</tt><br>
<tt>ATRPM provides xmms-</tt><tt>1.2.10-1.at.i586.rpm </tt><tt>- with
all those beasts</tt><br>
<br>
<tt>Which you installs? Who knows, probably EPEL ...</tt><br>
