You are right, sure, I've read it, but you can found something similar at 
freshrpms.net, and dag has a similar philosophie, too, I think.
I was confused cause some people talk about fedora.us as a third party repo, 
and some people talk about as a extra, but official repo.

And whats about the fereshrpms, dag, and so on? In some forums there are some 
discussions about the incompatibilitys of some packages from some repos (for 
example: many people report that freshrpm packages are not compatible with 
the packages of fedora.us/livna). So who made the failure there?
