I was reading about this in the Announce ML and thought it was pretty 
cool, actually. This is *exactly* what Red Hat and CentOS were missing. 
Now they only have to issue an update batch where they also include as 
dependencies the required packages to configure these extra repositories 
in the deployed and supported distributions so users would have to do 
zero to very little configuration and start using these packages.
