Let me also add that the main reason why I'm not involved in fedora.us is 
because I'm not using the repository because I can not. It had conflicts
with my own repository and their policy is not spend time on 
compatibility.

So they've shut me out. The day that policy is lifted there would be a 
reason for me to file some bugreports for compatibility reasons, then 
enable fedora.us and then do bugreports about those packages I use from 
fedora.us.

I'm not using any, so I can't comment on them. I only know what breaks 
because of reports and even for that I can't offer any help.

PS I do provide bug reports for Red Hat/Fedora Core packages.
PS2 I'm using fedora.us carefully, and try not to mix it with Fedora Extras

Jeff, next time you comment about 3rd part repositories I would like you 
to read the previous mail and this mail.
