I can see the need for possibly 2 different repositroies here to provide
diferent strokes for different folks :-
maybe
centosplus-base linked against base - usable for people who only want to
include particular packages and want them linked against base + updates.
centosplus - where packages are linked against other packages in
centosplus - usable by people who want all the latest & greatest.
(or centosplus and centosplus-ng - that is up for discussion )
Once we have the new builder in place it shouldnt be too much effort to
provide both.
The same discussion presumably is also merited for what centos-extras are
linked against ???
