I have to play devil's advocate here. Quote from http://lists.centos.org/pipermail/centos-devel/2014-February/009830.html:
there are more than 100 repos out there, which ones are we going to add and why and then at that point what do the others need to do in order to also get included ?
Guys, we are beating around the bush here and missing the obvious - which is even more obvious since the RH acquisition.
We all know EPEL is "special"; first of all there are loads of developers contributing to it, second it is officially part of the RedHat world (legalese bullshit aside), third it probably has the least number of complaints against it, implying good quality.
Given the above I'd say it's pretty safe and useful to add epel-release to Extras.
Why don't we add another of the 100s of repos? Because none of the other tick all the boxes above.

Agreed ...
