I know that I shouldn't feed a troll, but I couldn't resist -- in
my not so humble opinion, most of the third party repos (except
for the one, which I cannot name here) are more or less products
of the time when it was difficult to put new packages into Fedora
proper (yes, there were times before Extras). Now, I really don't
see the reason, why you cannot take your package (except for the
pesky legal reasons, but less put that aside) and put that
package into Fedora.
Do I miss anything?
