Do we need to have a policy about other repo's :) I guess the only
policy might be : let them do what they think is right for them.

Anything that replaces anything in the distro would goto CentOSPlus,
everything else goes to Extras/ or Contrib/; pkgs in CentOSPlus can
depend on Extras/ or Contrib/ but not the other way around.
Not everything can exist in multiple versions, in a parallel install -
if there is something that can, then the choice to use
<name><significatver> in %{name} is ok. eg. We do that with drbd at the
moment.
