Issue #2, drbd:
The following packages are in CentOS 5 Extras:
- drbd-8.0.16-5.el5.centos
- drbd82-8.2.6-1.el5.centos
- drbd83-8.3.15-2.el5.centos
- kmod-drbd-8.0.16-5.el5_3
- kmod-drbd-xen-8.0.16-5.el5_3

- kmod-drbd82-xen-8.2.6-2
- kmod-drbd83-8.3.15-3.el5.centos
- kmod-drbd83-xen-8.3.15-3.el5.centos
If I install kmod-drbd and its dependency drbd with "yum install kmod-drbd" and then run "yum update drbd", yum will attempt to replace drbd with drbd82, because drbd82 obsoletes drbd. This will fail, because drbd is required by kmod-drbd.
Personally I think that the 8.0 and 8.2.x packages should just be removed. Even 8.3.15 is now superceded by 8.3.16 but the changeset is so tiny as to not really be worth the effort of upgrading. The EOL for 8.3 was meant to be December last year but this was extended due to 8.4 being just a tiny bit buggy :-o
