Sounds like you want Centos + Extras then. Or maybe Extras isn't up to
date enough, and some people may need to create a new 'Current' repo
for Centos.

The closest I've come to wanting something "new" in Centos was wanting
a 2.4.3 (or so) Python instead of the 2.4.2 (or so) that comes with
RHEL/Centos. And that was easily avoided.
