And the user should not be confused with to many 3rd party repos that
are incompatible (yes, I know that's some people disagree with the
"incompatible" in the last sentence). 

freshrpms and livna are not that different in politics. There are a lot
of packages present in both, but still some packages only exist in
freshrpms and some others only in lvina. merging those two (or at least
working closely together) seems like a good idea to me.
