I wonder - you have rules and exceptions. Why do you simply do not put differencies ro the RELEASE-NOTES and join CentOS/RPMS and addons? Separate dir is worthless because you have yum and i586 kernels in CentOS/RPMS already. So this "rule" isn't working from the start already.
yum is there, because the architecture behind up2date (vulgo RHN) just isn't there, as it is *not* free software. The i586 kernel cannot go into a separate repository, as that won't be usable at install time -- yes, that is a change regarding to the stuff upstream delivers.
I suggest distro and updates only.
It would be against the CentOS goals - look at www.centos.org.
Then think about Extras, Plus and Contrib. This is really too complicated.
Stuff which *really* differs from upstream -- meaning that it *overwrites* stuff which comes from upstream -- has to go to centosplus, if at all.
