This is great news for people who love RPMForge and would like to
enable it without risk to their "supported" packages.
I would like to I ask a follow-up question...
If there is a package provided by EPEL, which is also provided by
RPMForge (in a similar or updated version), will that package be in
RPMForge or RPMForge-extras?
The reason I ask this is because I have always been a fan of RPMForge,
but my organisation is standardising on EPEL - and I would like to be
able to safely enable both base repositories...
