Good point.  Unless you want to muck with all the core spec files to change 
that, it means installing php from the base would result in two package sets.  
Does anyone know how RHWAS deals with this?  I guess it's actually a 
non-issue for them, as their whole application stack repo is probably meant 
to be installed together, not in portions (as with centosplus).
