From the aestetical point of view what bothers be is that rf is just 2 characters, while the rest is 3 characters long :-)

Which reminds me that I also did the proposal of creating an "extras" repository, so:
.rf. rpmforge stable (additional packages) .rfb. rpmforge buildtools (buildtools, not required) .rft. rpmforge testing (test stuff, no guarantee) .rfx. rpmforge extras (packages replacing base)
Not sure if rfx/extras is a good name for that repository.
If we decide to do this, I guess we should start identifying those packages that replace base, or require packages that replace base.
