Something is implicitly wrong with your statement of fact above.

Livna claims to be compatible with Extras.
Rpmforge claims to be compatible with Extras
It is a known fact that Livna and Rpmforge are not compatible.

Ergo one of the first two statements appears false.
I have used Rpmforge constantly and never encountered a conflict with
the Fedora Updates_released, Base, or Extras repos.  I wonder where
explicitly the fallacy in the claims lies.

Like you I also pick/choose which packages to use from where.  I use
ATrpms and Livna selectively.
