Whatever documentation you have read, it explained the situation
incorrectly. The infrastructure at livna.org does not belong to the Fedora
Project. It's an open 3rd party community project, with some of the
contributors supporting both Fedora Extras and rpm.livna.org. What may be
at least a bit special, is that at rpm.livna.org it is tried as much as
possible to play nice with Core and Extras and not upgrade, rename or
replace any packages from Core or Extras. The rare exception being
applications, which cannot be extended with plugins, e.g. Audacity.
Conflicts shall never happen and would be a bug (http://bugzilla.livna.org).

"Cautious" with regard to what?
