Core applications for me are the ones needed to run a server.
libgpod is not the case. If this breaks, no one is going to jump off the
bridge.
Every repo will have problems along the time. Livna had a lot recently.
This is unavoidable. The point is: are the these problems corrected fast?

What I really like in linux is that there is a real person behind
everything.

ATrpms - Axel Thimm
Dries - Dries Verachter
Dag - Dag Wieërs
Freshrpms -  Matthias Saoul
KDERedHat - Rex Dieter
Livna - ????

I have a profound admiration for the work of all the people I listed above.
Sometimes, I would have done things differently, but I would never FUD
any repo because of that.
