And then merge the non-overlapping stuff in one 3rd party community repo
where the repo-maintainers work together instead of against each other. 

Okay, RPMforge might have other goals (see the mail from Jeff Pitman in
this thread) so this probably won't fit (but I still wish RPMforge all
the best with their approach).

But if livna, atrpms and freshrpms all mostly use the "don't replace
packages from Core or Extras" approach it might be a good time do forget
about old flamewars ^w discussions an try to work together from now on.

Disclaimer for those who don't know: I maintain several packages in
Livna.
