Is Extras just another reference to the Fedora EPEL Project? I can't find a reference to RedHat Extras anywhere except on a press release, and the one developer comment (on a quick Google search) that mentions anything about extra packages points back to the Fedora EPEL site.

Also, docker-io and docker-registry are located in the EPEL 7 beta repository -

http://dl.fedoraproject.org/pub/epel/beta/7/SRPMS/repoview/letter_d.group.html

Those may be, but docker itself is not anymore, which is what this thread is about.

Extras is not EPEL, despite the similarity in (expanded) names. It's a whole new repo that has different rules than the main repo(s) -- essentially it's supported by RH (unlike optional/supplementary) but will not be version locked (like optional/supplementary, at least sometimes).
