Ahh, I forgot we did this.  I do see some overlapping packages, but I'm not
sure why we do so.  It'd be great to keep the overlap minimal IMO.

That said, it seems that people installing these packages are a *very*
small percentage of CentOS users. Is there a good reason to put these
packages in a default-enabled repo (extras) for all CentOS installs?  I'd
think a separate "CBS" repo would allow for a bit more flexibility going
forward -- especially if it turns out we have more conflicting packages
(with EPEL or whatever other repos).
