I think there's more than just RHX/Extras. Everything that is in RHN and 
that is not available from ftp.redhat.com in RPM or SRPM format. There are 
beta-channels that are not offered as SRPM afaik.

But it's hard to list things that you don't know exist :) Someone with 
full RHN access could simply verify for himself.

Also, it would be useful to have everything that cannot be distributed 
available in nosrc format as well.
