Personally, I don't see the point of having anything in a CentOS-specific repo that would be equally usable on RHEL, SL, etc., and having it there will set up a likely conflict with an EPEL or Rpmforge version unless they are maintained in sync. Things that use the extra features of the centosplus kernel would be an obvious exception and there are probably others.
I would even vote for not picking up anything other than what upstream is doing. I much rather have more timely releases and updates, fastrack, and maybe other RHN channels (eg. EAL), than using those resources for extracurricular activities like DRBD packages, a centosplus kernel, etc...
+1 Diversify only if you have the resources. Or, if you can bring them on-board if you don't have them.
