Concerns about RedHat's email

[Michael Colligan]

Sure, there will be plenty of packages and repositories but how well will they 
be coordinated?  That's the problem I thought "fedora extras" was supposed to 
cure.  "fedora extras" will not package a great number of packages people 
will want for licensing/export reason reasons.  And many people prefer to 
roll their own anyways.  Hence there will be other repositories as there has 
been (Dag AT, freshrpms, ...).   The key is the coordination and elimination 
of the duplication of efforts across the repositories.  No small feat.

I'll just stick with my compiler and somewhat looser "packaging mangement 
system" but it would be a beautiful thing to see the repositories all work 
together.

Sorry if I've missed some ongoing discussion about this on the mailing lists.
