I am not opposed in any way in including references to the needed 3party repos and by matter of consequence, 3rd party packages. What I am trying to say is that instead of relying on priorities which are very often creating issues ( the conflicts between EPEL and rpmforge being notorious ) , you should rely on the exclude/includepkgs system and fetch exactly the packages that you need and make sure nothing else gets downloaded/included/installed.
