maybe
centosplus-base linked against base - usable for people who only want to include particular packages and want them linked against base + updates.
centosplus - where packages are linked against other packages in centosplus - usable by people who want all the latest & greatest.
Could we overcome some ( all ? ) of this overlap issue with relevant compat-package-version packages ?
Once we have the new builder in place it shouldnt be too much effort to provide both.
The same discussion presumably is also merited for what centos-extras are linked against ???
Extras only link against base, since they dont overlap any of the functionality of the packages in base. Also, Extras are enabled by default, a user can 'yum install foo' from a stock install with no manual intervention or an 'opt in' required. If a package from Extras was to link against something in CentOSPlus, I'd presume that the package needs to be moved into CentOSPlus itself since its unusable in Extras.
