In general, is there a process for deciding whether a package is
qualified for inclusion in the centosplus repo?  I imagine it's
something along the lines of "this package had better be well-built and
important enough to break 100% binary compatibility", but I can't
find anything specific in the docs.  (I personally only use the
XFS-related packages out of centosplus, but I can imagine wanting
to watch it if other packages appear there that might be useful
or interesting.)
