Kind of, sort of.

About six weeks ago, we started the discussion of Fedora Extras allowing
for multiple maintainers for packages who could then do multiple
distributions for binary packages.  With that basic idea in place, what
I called "Enterprise Extras" becomes possible.  Repackaging maintainers
(CentOS et al) could become contributors here, and get those packages in
their flavor, just as Red Hat can make them appear for Enterprise Linux.

I haven't had an opportunity to continue pursuing this, and FESCo has
been busy with other stuff.  But if anyone wants to help continue this
idea forward ...
