I package up several things myself, mainly because I need it "now". I
have plans to push some of those packages to Fedora and EPEL (or just
EPEL, in the case of local rebuilds of Fedora packages), but I haven't
had enough round tuits to get that done.
I did separate my local RHEL repo into repos based on the source of the
package, like "fedora-add" for things I've rebuilt from Fedora,
"fedora-replace" for a few things where I needed a newer version than
RHEL/EPEL, "hiwaay-add" for my packages, etc. Ideally that will make it
easier for me to work with Fedora and EPEL to get my work into the
repos.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
