Addons' are packages that were required to build the distro and/or
packages output from the build process, but not a part of the
Distribution itself.
Extras are external, non distribution related packages ( eg. XFCE for
CentOS4 is not a part of the distribution, but made available via the
Extras repository for people who might want it )
I hope this clear up things.
