As I understand it, there are repercussions, or implications, to using the centosplus features, like base kernel incompatibilities and soon. If true, can you elaborate, and if not please let me/us know.
Thanks.

Yes. centosplus overwrites core packages.

Use centosplus if you *know* that you need a feature from one of the packages there. Do not enable centosplus generally. Just enable it to update or install specific packages.

Yes, there are. The base kernel does not have xfs support. The php5 packages in centosplus is a move away from the base packages of php4, etc. As Ralph has pointed out, you should not globally enable the repository, but instead pick and choose the packages you want for example, in your case, the xfs module.
