Yes  i read it and you are over reacting.  you know  there are asterisk and 
related packages in extras  and probably on their way there.  You want to 
keep you own  fine  and great  mock will let you exclude packages from the 
buildroot  so exclude them. your users have protectbase  that they can use to 
to make sure they have your asterisk packages and not Fedora Extras,  A 
technical solution to a technical problem,  there is no need to turn a 
technical problem into a social one.
