This is a show-stopper for many, including myself. Thanks for pointing it out.
However...
77 lines of unnecessary untrimmed text removed. Is it too much to ask you to be considerate to others and trim non-essential text? I direct you to the mailing list guidelines for these lists:

Thank you for your future thoughtfulness.

The test of our progress is not whether we add more to the abundance of those who have much, it is whether we provide enough for those who have too little.

It would seem you have posted about 90 times, and the very first and the very last (and presumably the ones in between) all contain a sig longer than the guidelines, so, as a wanna be List Mom, you don't hold much sway with me (read: there is already enough hypocrisy in the world).
12 * ~ 90 > 77 by more than an order of magnitude.
The 77 serve to indicate how many packages one might search for and _possibly_ wind up in an unsafe place. I hope that is not the case and will continue my efforts (along with one of my Internet2 friends) to vet the repo.

Just for the record ... we (the CentOS Project) do not recommend this site. They are using our name without permission.

Attribution goes to EliteMoly: CentALT repository not ready for mirroring, rpms not signed. EPEL is must have to be enabled for CentALT packages to work. CentALT packages relies on EPEL. Repacking all dependencies is bad idea. This work is already done in EPEL. 2011-02-18, 10:41

They are using our name without permission, we would rather you do not post about them on this list as they are not playing nicely with others.
If we want to be a ElALT, that is one thing ... CentALT is another entirely.
Ubuntu is not DebianALT ... CentOS is not RHEL-ALT ... they should not be using our name.
