Ok, let's be more specific. On what basis are packages from downstream accepted ? I can see a list of packages in CentOS Extras, but no clear relation. Let alone some "homogenous user experience plan".
Also during FOSDEM this year (wrt. additional packages) you clearly articulated that the CentOS project was going to return to its core business, and do that well. How does that match with a CentOS Extras repository ?
This is confusing me now, especially since kmod-drbd is out of sync with upstream and most of the packages in CentOS Extras have not been updated since 2007/2008.
I haven't looked through these specifically, but I think at least some have appeared in EPEL with the same names, and some with incompatible dependencies or builds. Having them continue to exist in both places is a bad thing.
