Hi.
Repository policy will define how new ecosystem works, so I thought throwing in few suggestions and see what can be applied.
Will one of CentOS variants/SiGs also include something like Desktop/Laptop/Workstation variant that will provide out-of-the-box EPEL and ElRepo packages, mostly drivers? I see lack of (network) drivers on installaion DVD as a main problem for newbies that chose CentOS as their workstation.
Something in line with CentOS + ElRepo drivers on the same DVD + current release/.repo packages for EPEL, and maybe other 3rd party repositories.
I am trying to image how this would be best to execute, and the first thing that comes to mind is this:
- yum-plugin-priorities should become mandatory for all CentOS Variants
including Base distro.

IActually a saner and less prone to surprises approach is to rely on exclude= and includepkgs=
