But on the upside, you shouldn't see those on "normal" systems :-)

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.
