Traditionally, we've always merged-flat into a single tree all RHEL
sources for the distro, to include all variants and layered products as
well. And just not built anything that was in supplimentary. So the
conversation now about Extras/ was how best to handle that, as Kevin
posted - Extras/ has its own timeline and does not map to RHEL Base for
release cycles etc.

At this point the aim is to then build these into the Extras/ repo for
CentOS - lets see if we can get that done fairly soon and into the
testing repos as well.

CentOS-Extras is setup by default in all CentOS linux installs, and
enabled by default, content signed with the same key as the main distro.
So we should end up creating a similar expience for users.
