I use RpmForge the most and I have had one or two conflicts (wxGTK2) 
with core/extra's.  I can say the same with Livna.  But it is a case 
of who has what.  I have removed a package from one site and installed 
it from the other.

ATrpms is one that I have not used since allot of FC1 headaches.

I now do upgrades in stages.  All the core/extras first, then the 
SorceForge rpms and last Livna.  This seems to have prevented almost 
all my compatibility issues.
