Repo's isn't like a pissup... the more isn't necessarily merrier.... 
although suppose could describe as pissup in other ways, have too many 
and you will get sick ;)

The more repo's you want, the more conflicts and dependancy issues you 
will have - it is not a good idea to add every repo you can find.

Personally, base/updated-released/extras, then dag and freshrpms are 
very reliable I find. atrpms i usually fine, although wouldn't use for a 
server. Other than that wouldn't touch many others - especially not 
livna ( http://dag.wieers.com/home-made/apt/FAQ.php#D )
